Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Technician Certificate

The Electronics Technician Certificate program provides flexible, skills-based training in basic electronics. It has been developed for adult learners pursuing basic technician level training through independent study, specifically students who cannot attend c ollege full-time because of work or family commitments. No electronics background is required and there are no academic prerequisites, so anyone can get training in this rapidly-growing industry.

The program covers an introductory curriculum in electronics equivalent to a two year college diploma. Contents of the program includes Current, Voltage, Resistance, Ohm's Law, Parallel and Series Circuits, Magnetism, AC/DC Circuits Capacitance, Inductance, Transformers, Resonance, Filters, Transistors, Semiconductors, Amplifiers, Op Amps and Digital Electronics.

The CD/DVD-based multimedia program presents twenty-three modules of interactive curriculum using text, video, 2D and 3D animations, photos, audio clips and interactive lab simulations. Pre-tests, interactive exercises, sample exams, and online support prepare you for computer-based final exams. The average completion time of the twenty-three training modules is thirty-two weeks of part-time study.

One of the main features of the program is the integration of theory with laboratory experiments and projects. Students who enroll in the program receive a licensed copy of CircuitLogix Pro, which includes both 2D- and 3D-simulation software. Click on the video below for an overview of laboratory simulation software.

The 3D-simulation software used in this program is called "3DLab" and it is intended to provide the fundamentals of electricity using “real-world? components. There are approximately 24 different devices and instruments available in 3DLab. For a demonstration of 3DLab click on the videos below:
