Automation Academy are a hands on training company offering PLC training courses for most of the major manufacturers of PLC/PAC automation equipment.
Our Instructors have 30+ years of experience in producing and delivering PLC training courses within a very diverse range of industries.
Furthermore because of this extensive experience we are equally adept at providing training on the latest PLC/PAC systems from the major manufacturers such as Siemens S7 1500 and Allen Bradley Logix systems as well as providing training for the older legacy PLC products such as GEC GEM 80 and GE Fanuc 90-30 and 90-70 systems.
At Automation Academy, students can get real hands on experience, in the safe risk free environment of a classroom of their working plant PLC, accurately mimicking the plant control system and programs.
With an experienced expert behind them, each student can rapidly learn techniques to locate and resolve breakdowns, understand and communicate problems to Engineering and Support Staff and also make changes to the processes that are being controlled. Overall these benefits will mean less plant downtime; and a reduction in the reliance on external support and contractors. This type of hands on training for the PLC system could never be achieved using day to day learning in the live plant environment alone. For upgrading the skills of your existing staff or to boost newly recruited staff to become productive sooner, our training courses will all contribute to your success.
At Automation Academy we don’t just work with one PLC manufacturer’s equipment, but with most of the major manufacturers. We are independent; we will tell you how things are without any bias, just as we see it. We won’t give you the sales talk that most PLC manufacturers’ sales manager may want you to hear, we will tell it as it is. This allows us to highlight pitfalls and potential problems on your PLC systems before they can potentially become an issue on plant.
