Description

This is the revamped, high-impact starter course for anyone wanting to become a confident PLC-HMI programmer – even if you're starting from zero.


In this free course (just under 2 hours), you’ll begin learning how to:


Simulate real-world PLC-HMI systems entirely on your laptop – no hardware needed


Build control logic with Ladder (Focused) and other languages like, FBD, and Structured Text (ST), IL, SFC, CFC


Create working interfaces (HMI) for actual automation tasks


Develop foundational skills that apply directly to real industry projects


This isn’t just theory or drag-and-drop tutorials. You’ll get hands-on experience creating project-based logic that reflects how actual factories and automation systems operate.


This course is Part 1 of a complete, 20-hour learning journey. Once you finish this free version, you can immediately continue with the paid full course, which includes:


Over 22 real-world project examples


Full automation simulations


System design to commissioning, following real engineering workflows


HMI and PLC integration, recipe setup, user manual development, and more


You’ll not only learn programming — you'll simulate full machine logic, troubleshoot like a pro, and prepare documentation the way real engineers do.


By the end of the full journey, you’ll go from beginner to confidently simulating, coding, and presenting your own automation systems – with reusable templates for your future projects or freelance clients.


-> Start here. Then upgrade when you’re ready to go pro.


Overall, this course is designed to transform you from a beginner to a confident PLC-HMI programmer. You'll gain hands-on experience by simulating real-world PLC-HMI systems, ensuring that your learning is practical and applicable to industry projects. Through project-based learning, you'll create logic that mirrors actual factory and automation operations.


Part of a comprehensive 20-hour journey, the course includes over 22 real-world project examples and full automation simulations. By the end, you'll confidently simulate, code, and present your own automation systems, troubleshoot like a pro, and prepare documentation just like real engineers. This journey equips you with professional skills and reusable templates for future projects or freelance work.

Who this course is for:

  • Aspiring PLC-HMI programmers from any background — whether you’re a complete beginner, engineering student, technician, or even a DIY hobbyist eager to break into industrial automation.
  • Teens, students, job seekers, and factory technicians looking to upskill and future-proof their careers with in-demand automation knowledge.
  • Anyone curious about automation who wants to confidently design, simulate, and deploy PLC-HMI systems from scratch — no prior experience needed.
