For entry onto this qualification learners must have a keen interest in Engineering/Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). It would be beneficial to have an understanding of PLCs/Electrical engineering, but not essential.
The Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) modular course is designed to support learners who are employed in engineering and manufacturing, specifically aligned to PLCs. Learners may have completed a previous engineering qualification and wish to progress to higher level study or develop knowledge and skills required to work in industries where there are requirements to utilise PLC and automation technologies.
This course is aimed at employers and in work adults that do not wish to commit to a long-term programme of study due to work / family commitments, working in the engineering & manufacturing sectors or other relevant sectors with an interest in a career using Automation / PLCs.
This course is also designed to support individuals who have had a break in their learning by offering them a broad introduction to the subject area via a range of core units, while allowing for the acquisition of some sector-specific skills and experiences through the specialist modules.
This effectively enables the learner to build their confidence and the underpinning core skills they require should they choose to enrol onto a higher-level apprenticeship or higher qualification. The course also supports the upskilling of adults employed in the sector.
