Opinions from Students

“

The course was well structured and the first of its kind in which I participated. A very good level of detail in the discussed issues related to the environment itself, such as the TIA Portal, as well as to the hardware level. After some lessons, we have to do something ourselves, so that it is not a synthetic science, but is supported by practice. The most phenomenal thing is the homework included in the course, for which we get "live" support in case of problems with their implementation. If I had to choose a course of this type again, I would not hesitate to choose it again. I highly recommend it, it's really worth it 🙂

I was totally green in the subject of PLC, i.e. I knew what the inputs and outputs in the controller were and that was where my knowledge ended. There was practically nothing about PLC in college either.
The course helped me change my job and get a job in a machine manufacturing company.
Everything is well explained, you can practice everything on the simulator, so it's easy to visualize and learn the principle.
We always have access to the course, wherever we have access to the Internet 🙂 I recommend it to everyone. I am looking forward to the next editions of the course.

A course at a very high level that met all my expectations. Materials in the form of video files and contact with the teacher - full professionalism. Another advantage of this type of course is the loose time frame that we can adjust to our pace of work. Kamil, who runs the course, thoroughly analyzes the homework sent to him and sends his observations in feedback. In my opinion, this course is a must-have item both for those starting their adventure with PLC programming, who want to learn the principles of good programming, as well as for people with experience.

A very nice course. The lecturers discussed theoretical issues in a professional and at the same time very accessible way and presented the possibilities of programming PLC controllers on many examples. I am satisfied and I can definitely recommend it to everyone who wants to start their career with controller programming.

The courses offered by ControlByte are a very good way to quickly learn Siemens PLCs. The materials are comprehensive, supported by practical examples, the issues are discussed in simple and understandable language. The authors support students at every stage, verify homework, send tips and suggestions. The course allowed me to expand and supplement my knowledge in the field of PLC programming, which contributed to the application of knowledge in practice and to the launch of the first production implementation, of course successfully. I highly recommend and encourage you to attend the course!

Kurs jest świetny. Posiada wiele przydatnych zagadnień niezbędnych przy programowaniu sterowników PLC. Prowadzący wszystko tłumaczą w jasny i czytelny sposób. Każdy moduł składa się z krótkich filmików ale bardzo treściwych. Jest to doskonała propozycja dla osób początkujących, którzy chcą w przyszłości programować Sterowniki PLC. Ten kurs uczy też dobrych praktyk, jeżeli chodzi o poprawne programowanie.

A great course filled with substantive knowledge (very well-prepared materials) and examples that allow you to start your adventure with PLC. A big advantage is the support provided by the authors during the webinars. I would highly recommend.

Hello, Really great course, a large dose of information in great quality. Knowledge delivered at the highest level - bravo Controlbyte. From the basics of building a controller to programming a sorting line. I've done S7-1200 programming courses in books before, but an online video course is in a completely different league. The use of Factory IO is a huge plus for the student and contact with the instructors during the course is a pleasure. I am looking forward to the next stage of the course - Intermediate LAD. I definitely recommend it.

A very good course for people who are starting their adventure with PLC. Step by step explained where it comes from. Lessons are organized in such a way that they do not overwhelm with too much information. Highly recommended and waiting for the next part

Hello 🙂 A well-prepared course for total beginners. The right amount of information does not overwhelm the recipient, as at the beginning of programming. The quality of the recordings is great (both video and audio). I am waiting for the continuation of this course as well as for the course at a higher level, because I want to master the LAD language for S7-1200 controllers. Everything I mentioned is best supported by an example of a real machine/line (as it has been so far).

I am a person starting my adventure with PLC and for me this course was great. Explained step by step how and what to do and where it comes from. I highly recommend it and look forward to the next editions. Thank you and I recommend!!!

Hi! I want to thank you very much for the "SIemens S7-1200 Programming Course". The short films contained the maximum amount of information, without the so-called "pouring water". Pure knowledge, lots of examples, very interesting tasks to perform and tests. I am very pleased with both the quality of the courses and the service. It was my debut when it comes to online courses, so at the beginning I had some doubts, which later turned out to be completely unfounded. I highly recommend and look forward to the next editions 🙂

Will I need a PLC during the course?

Not! The course takes place in a simulator, thanks to which you will not need a real PLC. Using the Factory I/O environment, automation systems such as conveyors, manipulators, actuators, robots, etc. are simulated. The operation of the PLC controller is simulated using the Siemens S7-PLCSIM environment

Do I need to purchase a license for the TIA Portal software?

Not! All you need is a free license to take the course.

Is the course for me if I haven't had any contact with programming before?

Yes. This is a basic course, prepared in such a way that even a person who has no contact with PLC controllers will be able to learn programming in the LAD language.

How long will I have access to this course?

Lifetime access to the course! As long as ControlByte exists in the automation market.

What is the on-line course on the ControlByte platform?

You get access to video materials with lessons explaining programming issues. The trainee performs exercises according to the guidelines from the videos. It also has homework to solve on your own. Projects from homework are posted on the portal, where the teacher checks the tasks and sends feedback.
