There's a good reason why anyone with 'PLC Programming Experience' listed in their professional qualifications is in high demand today. This demand springs from the increasing integration of automation systems in various industries such as manufacturing, utility management, and transportation. Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) lie at the heart of these automation systems. As digital computers used to control manufacturing processes such as assembly lines or robotic devices, their correct programming and operation are crucial to the efficiency and safety of the systems they govern.


In this rapidly evolving technological era, expertise in PLC programming is not just a highly sought-after skill—it is an essential one. The ability to understand and manipulate the logic that governs complex automated systems provides a critical edge in a vast array of industries. Whether you're seeking to enhance your existing engineering skills or starting from scratch in a new field, learning how to program PLCs can open doors to a range of exciting opportunities.


Our course represents your first step towards gaining this invaluable expertise. Designed with beginners in mind, it provides a good introduction to PLC programming.


Remember, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and this course is that first step on your PLC programming journey. This is your chance to learn an in-demand skill and significantly boost your professional profile, potentially leading to greater job security and opportunities for advancement in your career. So why wait? Begin your PLC programming journey today with this course, and get ready to meet the exciting challenges and opportunities that await in the world of automation.


Here's what some of my students who have taken this course had to say:

"This course is a good intro for anyone that has no knowledge of PLCs, or electrical circuits."

-Christian Ramirez

"I went through the three sections of the training and found it very good. I have a lot of experience with Rockwell PLC's and found that your course had a good pace to it. I believe that an inexperienced technician/electrician would get a lot out of this. It is hard to find fault."

-Conor Wallace

Cool huh? I love hearing from my students about the great experiences they're having with PLC Training Academy.

Hello, my name is Robert Simons and I am a Sr. Controls Engineer and PLC Programming Instructor. I have been programming PLC's for over 12 years, and most of that time was spent as a system integrator where I programmed and troubleshot just about every PLC, HMI, and Instrumentation equipment out there. I also taught PLC programming at a local university where I have taught dozens of students how to program PLCs.

While working in the field, nearly every time I have a conversation with an electrician or technician, they mention to me how much they would love to learn how to program PLC's. Because of this great need, I created both a course on PLC programming and a course on AutoHotKey. My goal is to create high-quality training material for you, available online, any time, at an affordable price so that you can advance in your career or just be a better you. Either way here's to your success! I'm glad you're here!
