Real Field Experience in the Training Room

TS Automation training is delivered by working control systems engineers — the same people who commission PLC systems on mining sites, water treatment plants, and oil & gas facilities across Australia.

Every example, fault scenario, and wiring diagram in this course comes from a real project. You won't work through hypotheticals — you'll learn exactly what engineers use to get systems running on time and to specification.

Industry Hardware — No Simulators

Training uses the same hardware and software deployed on real projects — genuine ControlLogix 1756 chassis, Stratix managed switches, PowerFlex drives, and the current release of Studio 5000 Logix Designer.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need prior PLC experience to attend?+

No prior PLC experience is required for Modules 1–3. A basic understanding of electrical circuits and industrial controls is helpful but not essential. Electrical graduates with no PLC background complete this course successfully.

What software do I need to bring?+

All software is provided on training laptops. Individual participants also receive a 30-day Studio 5000 student activation to continue practising after training. You may bring your own Windows laptop — installation support is provided on Day 1.

Is this course available online or in person only?+

The standard course is delivered in person at our Brisbane facility. Corporate and group bookings can be delivered at your site anywhere in Australia — including FIFO locations. We do not offer a purely online version as hands-on hardware access is fundamental to the learning outcomes.

Can the course be customised for our industry or processes?+

Yes. Group and corporate bookings include curriculum customisation. If your team works in mining, water treatment, food processing, or oil & gas, we adapt lab exercises and fault scenarios to reflect your actual plant environment.

When is the next intake and how do I register?+

Courses run monthly at our Brisbane training centre. Contact us using the form below to request current available dates or to register for upcoming intakes. Group bookings can typically be scheduled with 2–3 weeks lead time.
