subject to change for programs starting in fall 2017 and at later dates.
The PLC Technician II Certificate program prepares students to work in
the rapidly expanding field of industrial automation and control. It
incorporates technical skills from the electrical, mechanical, computer
and manufacturing disciplines, and emphasizes the use and
programming of PLCs within complex industrial control systems.
REQUIRED COURSES
The program material and PLC simulation software (PLCLogix) used in
this program are based on the Rockwell Logix 5000 PLC. PLCLogix is a
Programmable Logic Controller simulator that emulates the operation of
a ControlLogix controller and the RSLogix 5000 software. It is an ideal
tool for learning the fundamentals of ladder logic programming with tagbased addressing.

This distance education certificate program meets the needs of both
employers who require a highly skilled technical workforce and students
who require cost-effective, high-quality, and accredited, technical
training.
You complete all the required modules (including lab projects, review
exercises and practice exams) from the comfort of your own home using
an interactive learning package.
The package consists of a DVD or USB drive containing 19 modules,
which are delivered using text, audio, 2D and 3D animations, video and
hundreds of laboratory projects using the PLCLogix simulator.
A final exam is taken online (computer-based testing) for each module.
You may enrol in this distance education certificate program at any time
(open-enrolment) and complete each module at your own pace. A
typical completion time for this program is 32 weeks, but there are no
time limits.

YOUR CAREER
This certificate program prepares you to work in the rapidly
expanding field of industrial automation and control. PLC technicians
install and repair industrial electronic equipment, including I/O
networks, data highways, variable speed drives and process control
equipment, and write PLC programs for a wide variety of automated
control systems, ranging from simple on-off control systems to
robotics.
PLC technicians also find employment in the industrial engineering
field, where they are actively involved in the design and
implementation of PLC control systems. This distance education
program meets the needs of both employers who require a highly
skilled technical workforce and students who require cost-effective,
high-quality and fully accredited technical training.
