GBC Code: T903
Industrial automation is providing jobs for technically trained people who can build, program, integrate, service, maintain and operate PLCs. Acquire the technical skills and knowledge needed to work with electrical control systems typically found in an industrial environment, design ladder logic programs and perform tests. Simulate the operation of real-world components, including motors, solenoid valves and a wide variety of other discrete and analog input/output devices. This certificate program meets the needs of both employers who require a highly skilled technical workforce and students who require cost-effective, high-quality, fully accredited technical training. |
Note(s):
The fees are $70 per module plus $370 for the CD (which includes all software and required materials). International applicants are charged the same fees but in US dollars (US$70 plus US$370); the posted exchange rate in effect at the time of your registration will be used to determine the final fee in Canadian dollars. Refunds will not be provided for the CD course materials. Telephone contact (tutorial assistance) is available (toll-free) at 1-866-279-1457 from Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. |
Career Opportunities:
Typical fields may include industrial automation/control and industrial engineering. Typical positions may involve designing and implementing PLC control systems, installing and repairing industrial electronic equipment (including input/output networks, data highways, variable speed drives and process control equipment) and writing PLC programs for a wide variety of automated control systems (ranging from simple on–off controls to robotics). |
Prerequisite(s):
You must have a secondary school diploma (with credits at or above the general level) or an approved equivalent or have mature student status. |
Technical Requirement(s):
- Pentium-based computer or equivalent
- CD-ROM drive and sound card
- 32 MB of RAM (64 MB recommended)
- 100 MB available disk space
- Microsoft Windows NT/2000/XP/ME/Vista/7
- Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail or any other MAPI-compliant application
- Internet access

Certificate Completion:
You complete all the required modules (including lab projects, review exercises and tests) from the comfort of your own home using an interactive learning package. The package consists of a CD-ROM containing 19 modules, which are delivered using text, audio and animations. This highly innovative certificate program combines state-of-the-art PLC simulation with one of the best-selling PLC books in history. Tests are taken online using computer-based testing while the interactive PLC simulation software essentially converts your computer into a virtual PLC and allows you to run, verify and debug ladder logic programs based on the Allen-Bradley RSLogix format. The simulation software allows you to familiarize yourself with many different features associated with Allen-Bradley PLCs, including timers, counters, sequencers and math functions. You may enrol in this certificate program at any time (continuous intake) and complete each module in your own time. Average completion time is 32 weeks of study, but there are no time limits. You should complete the modules in the order shown below. |
