PLC Basic Applications ( PLC1) Course

If you would like to become a good Automation Engineer or Technician , you have to be familiar with PLC Programming & its  Applications.

As you know, PLC Programming is the Basic Level to step up to the PLC  Advanced Training  Level & its Applications ( Which is Industrial Applications )

So, once you get the PLC1 Training , you will be to go to the higher level of PLC.

Target Audience:

This program is targeting :

• Industrial, Commercial, Institutional
• Electrical Engineers Electrical Maintenance Tradespeople & Technicians
• Instrumentation And Control Engineers

Language: English/Arabic
