FAQ

Is a basic automation course useful?

The basic industrial automation course is a source of valuable knowledge that can be applied in future professional careers. During the standard three-day training, students gain the necessary knowledge to independently diagnose peripheral circuits in a PLC, efficiently operate a multimeter, and measure signals after building measurement loops.

The information presented in this course is the essence of automation. Gaining the appropriate knowledge allows you to navigate the world of industrial automation and control more freely. The goal of the training is to provide each participant with a solid foundation in areas such as control systems, industrial sensors, PLC control systems, industrial communication networks, and frequency converters.

The topics covered in this course are merely an introduction to the world of industrial automation. However, they are so important and useful that without a thorough understanding of them, it's impossible to navigate this field later.


What is the training method in industrial automation courses?

The method used in industrial automation courses involves imparting knowledge through lectures and exercises. All tasks are performed at independent workstations equipped with specialized, multi-component devices.

The instructor conducting the training has extensive technical knowledge and many years of professional experience in industrial implementation and integration of automation and electrical engineering systems. Their role in the training is not limited to lecturing. The instructors are largely trainers who present real-life examples from their own professional work, address student concerns, and provide assistance during laboratory exercises.

Part of the industrial automation training methodology also involves providing students with training materials. These materials are used during the training, but they can also provide a valuable knowledge base for course participants for their future professional careers.


Will I learn what industrial automation looks like in practice during the training?

Automation training courses currently rely on a large number of practical exercises. Each participant has access to a specially equipped laboratory and, increasingly, to their own individual training station.

Training stations are used to perform tasks related to the topics discussed. They are equipped with devices from the most popular manufacturers. Under the supervision of a trainer, course participants perform specific tasks that allow them to better consolidate their knowledge of the basic elements of automation.

By independently building relay control systems and measurement loops, students are exposed to the realities of automation. Training sessions with extensive exercises help students understand how industrial automation works in practice.


Who conducts training courses in the areas of mechatronics and automation?

Mechatronics and automation courses are taught by lecturers with extensive professional experience. Their technical knowledge allows them to present key concepts in a straightforward and understandable manner. Trainers with experience in integrating electrical and automation systems also facilitate the presentation of real-world situations and the development of useful exercises.

It's becoming increasingly common to utilize the expertise of multiple lecturers within a single course. This allows for a more comprehensive understanding of the training's essence. Course supervisors prioritize student independence. Most of the prepared exercises require practical application of knowledge acquired during theoretical lectures.

Trainers interact actively with students and are happy to share their experience, but on the other hand, they give them time to individually develop the most important conclusions.


How often are electrical engineering training courses organized?

Electrical engineering courses At EMT-Systems, training sessions are held year-round, at least once a month. To register for a course, simply complete the registration form and email it to the training center.

Demand for electrical engineering training is high, and the number of places is limited. This is due to our commitment to easy access to the training stations and to ensure the most effective use of the instructor's knowledge.

Due to increased interest, organizers are adding new training dates throughout the month. Ultimately, the wait for an electrical engineering course isn't too long.


What will the electrical engineering and control cabinet equipment course teach me?

The person who finishes electrical engineering training has the skills to read electrical diagrams, measure current, voltage and resistance, and build relay control systems.

Students should also learn how to work safely with electrical equipment before they begin practical exercises. The topic of hazards is extremely important, and therefore is often addressed in a separate section of the training. Knowledge of human body resistance and permissible current is useful both during the course and in future work as automation and mechanical engineers.

Taking an electrical engineering course equips you with basic yet highly developed skills. It can be particularly useful for those planning to work in the automation and maintenance sector.


Does the work performed by an automation engineer overlap with the topics covered in the training?

The basic scope of activities of an automation engineer is primarily ensuring the proper technical condition of machines, removing equipment failures, and optimizing the production process.

Automation training, especially the course on safety systems and devices, includes thematic blocks that correspond to the duties of an automation engineer.

Students learn about safe control elements, recognize potential machine hazards based on real-world examples, and are able to develop technical protection measures for specific machines.

Practical sessions play a crucial role during training, allowing students to practice all theoretical knowledge. This allows them to gain fundamental knowledge that largely reflects the real-world work of an automation engineer.
