Master Industrial Automation Control Panel Troubleshooting
A hands-on, instructor-led course that turns technicians into confident troubleshooters — diagnosing and fixing real automation faults, not just reading about them.
Built for Technicians Who Need Skills That Hold Up in the Plant
Dive deep into industrial automation controls with a comprehensive, hands-on course that blends theory, practical insight, and real-world troubleshooting — led by instructors with decades in the field.
Real Equipment
Train on the same relays, drives, PLCs, and sensors you'll troubleshoot back at the plant.
Safety First
Every session is grounded in best practices and safety guidelines for working on live systems.
Field-Tested Method
Learn a repeatable troubleshooting process built on Ohm's Law fundamentals — not guesswork.
Small Groups
Low student-to-instructor ratios mean more time at the panel and direct feedback for you.
Four Days. Zero Fluff.
Each day builds on the last — from fundamentals to full hands-on fault resolution on our custom-built panel.
