FAQ
How can I sign up for the course?
Use the “Join the Course” button on this website or send us an inquiry at: contact@controlbyte.tech
Will I receive support from the instructors for this training?
Yes! We stay in touch with you through Discord channel – chat for participants, forums, and live meetings – webinars.
Will I receive a certificate upon completion of the training?
After submitting all projects from homework assignments and having them checked by the instructors, you will receive a certificate of completion for the training.
Will I need a PLC controller during the course?
No! In the course you will use advanced PLC simulator, so you won’t need a real PLC controller. The Factory I/O environment simulates automation systems such as conveyors, manipulators, actuators, robots, etc. The PLC controller’s operation is simulated using the Siemens S7-PLCSIM environment.
Do I need to purchase a license for Siemens TIA Portal software?
NO! To take part in the course, all you need is a free license.
What if it turns out that the course is not for me? Can I return the course?
You have 14 days to return the course, counting from the start date of the course. We guarantee a safe purchase.
Is the course suitable for me if I have no prior experience with programming?
Yes. This is a basic course, designed in such a way that even someone without any experience with PLC controllers will be able to learn programming in LAD/FBD language.
How long will I have access to this course?
Access to the course is lifetime! As long as the ControlByte company exists in the automation market.
What does an online course on the ControlByte platform look like?
You get access to video materials with lessons explaining programming concepts. Participants follow exercises according to guidelines from the videos.
They also have homework assignments to solve independently. Homework projects are uploaded to the portal, where instructors check the tasks and provide feedback.
