Certified PROFIBUS training

The next opportunity to get PROFIBUS Certified is on 3 December for the Certified Installer course, followed by a Commissioning and Maintenance course on 4 December. The next Certified Engineer course starts on 18th March.

 

MMU's Certified PROFIBUS Training to Engineer Level covers the Certified PROFIBUS Installer, the Commissioning & Maintenance module and finally the Certified PROFIBUS Engineer Course. It follows a new modular format designed to help students reach their fullest potential in 5 working days, with a built-in break to enable students to better assimilate the knowledge gained from the pre-requisite Installer course and the Commissioning & Maintenance module in order to be fully prepared for the Engineer course itself.   

 

Each course can be taken individually or as part of the full set, depending on the candidates' existing qualifications and ability.

 

To register please use the Registration Form or call Ann on +44 207 193 8018 to check availability for this or future opportunities.

PS - These courses can also be delivered at your premises for groups of 6 or more. Ask for details.
