A Complete PLC Programming Course

Finally, a PLC course developed for real learning by a real PLC programmer with real PLC experience in BOTH programming and teaching PLCs.

This is truly the first video course designed with the “real-world student” in mind. It is not a course you will sleep through. It is not boring. There is no techno-talk. Plain English is how we talk and that’s how we learn best!

The course starts from the very beginning. There are no prerequisites. Gradually you’re guided through the important concepts... step-by-step. Where possible real world examples are used to further emphasize the topic.

You’ll get a complete Beginners PLC course taught in a seminar format. The complete set of 5 dvds has been designed purely with the student in mind.

Based on years of real-world factory automation experience coupled with extensive training, the course leader guides you through the functions of PLCs.

Common beginner mistakes are pointed out along with ways to avoid them. Benefit from our experience and put it to real use.

You’ll learn PLC programming in only days from this course. Gradually practice while you learn and soon you’ll be programming like a pro before you know it.


Train at your convenience and your own pace.
Train multiple employees one section at a time and experience only limited downtime.
