Industrial Automation Specialist – IAS
What is the Industrial Automation Specialist Program?
The Industrial Automation Specialist (IAS) program is a comprehensive advanced training designed to develop full professional competence in industrial instrumentation, control systems, and automation integration. This program combines instrumentation, PLC systems (Siemens), VFD control, HMI/SCADA development, industrial networking, calibration, and commissioning into one complete learning pathway. The training is structured to take you from process measurement at field level to full automation system integration at control room level.
By the end of this program, you will be able to design, integrate, test, and commission complete industrial automation systems confidently and professionally.
Who needs this training?
This program is designed for automation engineers, instrumentation engineers, senior technicians, plant supervisors, and experienced electrical professionals who want to upgrade to full automation system integration level.
It is also suitable for professionals working in mining, oil and gas, power plants, manufacturing, and water treatment facilities.
