PLC Training

PLC Training for Industrial Maintenance Teams

Automation faults are easier to diagnose when technicians can read the ladder logic controlling the equipment instead of relying on part replacement alone.

ITC Learning's PLC training online covers hardware fundamentals, ladder logic interpretation, and analog control, delivered as self-paced, SCORM-compliant courses.

Why It Matters

Why PLC Training Matters

A technician who can interpret ladder logic can move beyond simple part replacement and more effectively trace a fault to its cause. That shift from guessing to systematic diagnosis can help technicians troubleshoot equipment more efficiently.

Build Ladder Logic Fluency

Ladder logic training covers contacts, coils, timers, counters, and how ladder diagrams represent real electrical circuits.

Understand PLC Hardware

Learn the modular PLC components — CPUs, power supplies, and I/O devices — that make up a control system.

Work With Analog Control

Courses cover PID control, analog I/O, and how PLCs manage continuous process control, not just discrete on/off logic.

Document Training for Records

Every completed course generates a certificate that can be used for internal documentation and training records.

Course List

What This Training Covers

The PLC training series is a three-course program covering PLC fundamentals through analog control.

The ITC Approach

A Structured Path From Skill Gaps to Documented Results

1

Assess

Use standalone skills assessments to identify PLC and ladder logic knowledge gaps before assigning training.

2

Train

Assign self-paced, SCORM-compliant courses covering PLC hardware, ladder logic, and analog control.

3

Track

Monitor completions, assessment scores, and progress by individual, team, or location.

4

Document

Generate certificates of completion and maintain training records by learner, team, or location.
