Pneumatic and PLC Training Courses

Accreditation: MERSETA 17-QA/ACC/0238/08 (Fee claims: www.merseta.org.za)

Program Objectives: Learners must understand the principles of the programs and be able to interpret, design circuits and simulate industrial related diagrams. A certificate will be issued to competent learners after an assessment by the facilitator.  A Portfolio of Evidence (POE) will be completed. Practical simulation will be done for all exercises. All courses are moderated.

Program Material: Workbook/textbook and stationery

Venue: In-House. Minimum 4 learners (Gauteng), maximum 10 learners – Pneumatic & PLC Basic
