This training module covers all the course contents of level 1-2 and the HMI courses. It is designed to bring trainees to a point of mastery of automated systems. Experts with industry experience will take you through practical sessions and programming exercises.
This covers the following
Training materials and training certificates at the end of the training.
Software which would be installed on trainee laptops without an additional cost , but getting the software’s folders and license would attract additional charges.
Tea break for trainees.
