You wire the panels. Now program what's inside them - and step into the better-paid half of the job.
Stop waiting for "the PLC guy" at every breakdown. Read the logic, find the fault, be the one they call.
Walk into your first interview with hours of real programming behind you - not just a module you passed.
Get fluent in the TIA-style workflow before your first automation project, on your own schedule.
The motivation was never the problem. The price of entry was.
The same PLC fundamentals, from home, on the laptop you own.
R20,000+ for the OEM course → R2,499 today. Travel and accommodation not counted.
Configure hardware. Build tag tables. Program rungs. Download to the PLC. Watch the machine respond in real time - and when your logic is wrong, watch it misbehave until you fix it.
Contacts, coils, timers, counters and branches - with live green power flow while your program runs.
Mount I/O cards, set the CPU address, map inputs and outputs - the full project workflow employers expect.
Tanks, valves, pumps and an agitator respond on a live plant screen. You don't answer questions - you automate.
The actual simulator - not a video. Build a rung, download to the virtual PLC, open the HMI, press START. If your logic is right, the machine runs.
Seven modules and a final build take you from "what is a PLC" to programming a complete batch plant - with hands-on simulator practicals from Module 3 onwards.
What a PLC is, how it scans, and the sense-decide-act loop every machine runs on.
Sensors and actuators, NO/NC contacts, digital vs analog signals.
Give every signal an address and a name. Your first practicals: build the rack and the tag table.
Bits, bytes, BOOL, INT, REAL - the containers your logic actually moves.
Assign, Set, Reset and seal-in circuits - make outputs hold and behave.
Structure a real program - networks, OBs, FCs, FBs and data blocks.
Timers, counters and edge detection explained - then build with the TON timer and CTU counter.
One liquid-soap batch plant, built up step by step - from your first pump start to a full automatic batch.
Watching builds familiarity. Building builds competence. Here's the loop you repeat until the logic is yours.
One idea per module - what it does, where it's used, and the mistakes that trip people up.
Open the project, write the rungs, download to the virtual PLC - the same steps as on a real one.
Valves open, motors run, levels rise - proof on screen that your logic works.
Automatic checks test your program against the brief and show which requirement it missed. Fix the rung, run it again.
After the course, "I can do that" stops being a bluff. Here's what you walk away able to do:
Every step up is more programming and fault-finding - this course is where that starts.
From technicians who trained with us in person in Midrand. The digital program is new, and teaches the same fundamentals. Read our classroom reviews →
"Finally a course where you actually touch the hardware. By day four I was confidently commissioning Simocode and diagnosing drive faults on my own."
"Sent two of my team here. They came back genuinely job-ready and the certificate looked great on file for our clients. Booking more seats."
