ControlLogix Levels 1 & 2

The course provided a solid foundation in the fundamentals, making it ideal for anyone looking to build their confidence and understanding before progressing further.

Nathan, the tutor, was excellent throughout. He explained concepts clearly, was approachable, and made sure everyone was keeping up. His delivery made the course engaging and easy to follow, even when covering more technical aspects.

The Scantime 4-day Allen-Bradley course…

The Scantime 4-day Allen-Bradley course I did with Nathan was excellent and gave me a really solid understanding of Allen-Bradley PLCs. Nathan is a great tutor—very down to earth—and he shared a lot of real-life experiences that really helped explain the concepts.
I previously did the beginner course at Rockwell Automation, and this course was hands down better. I’ll definitely be coming back to do the Level 3 course with Scantime, as I learned a lot over the four days.

I hadn’t worked with PLCs prior to enrolling on this program, but the training has given me valuable real-world experience using Siemens TIA Portal and a clear, detailed understanding of PLC programming and diagnostics. The hands-on approach made the learning practical and easy to relate to industrial applications. I would highly recommend Scantime to anyone looking to build strong foundations in PLCs and automation.
