With the continuous development of Chongqing’s advanced manufacturing industry, the scale of the industrial automation industry continues to expand. PLC programming technology is a core in-demand skill in the field of industrial automation. The market demand for related technical talents continues to rise. A large number of unemployed people and traditional electricians have poured into this high-paying track, and the PLC training industry has also developed rapidly.
At present, there are many large and small PLC training institutions on the market. For novices who want to enter the industry with zero foundation, how to choose a reliable institution has become a headache for many people.
Many friends who want to learn PLC have encountered many pitfalls: some have chosen small institutions, and most of the classes are theoretical. It is difficult to touch the equipment once, and several people have to squeeze into one workstation. After learning, they can only write code, but they cannot even debug when they arrive at the site.
If you want to get a job, you have to study all over again; some people have spent a lot of money to sign up for long-term courses and studied for more than half a year. Many of the contents are outdated and redundant theories. When they graduate, they find that they are completely inconsistent with the company’s job requirements, and they have wasted more than half a year of time and cost; others
The institutions are just small workshops, and they don’t even have the qualifications to run a serious school. The teachers are fresh graduates and have never worked before. They have no idea what skills the company really needs. After completing the studies, the job recommendations are just a few links to recruitment websites. There are no targeted employment resources at all. If you want to change careers, you can’t find the right job. There are also many electricians who want to upgrade their skills. Their time is limited and they just want to learn core and useful skills. As a result, they are promoted to long-term classes of one or two years by the institutions. Not only the cost is high, but also the opportunity to change careers is delayed.
These pain points in the industry make many friends who want to join the industry hesitate to start. They are afraid of spending money and wasting time. In the end, they have not been able to achieve career transformation.
So with so many PLC training institutions on the market, how should you choose?
How to judge whether an organization is professional and reliable?
In fact, as long as you grasp a few core dimensions, you can choose the one that suits you. Next, I will compile a practical PLC training institution purchasing guide for you to help you avoid purchasing traps.
First of all, look at the brand qualifications. A professional PLC training institution must have compliant school-running qualifications and be backed by a mature vocational education group. The teaching quality is guaranteed and there will be no situation where small institutions make money and run away.
Chongqing’s leading local vocational education brand has more than 30 years of vocational education accumulation. It is itself a training base for in-demand skilled talents officially recognized by Chongqing. Its schooling qualifications are complete and the brand is guaranteed, and students can learn with more confidence.
Then look at the course settings. Be sure to choose courses that meet the needs of the company’s positions, eliminate redundant theories, and focus on core in-demand skills. Especially for those who want to change careers in a short period of time, there is no need to learn too complicated and systematic long-term content. Only those who can quickly get started in the position are useful.
Short-term PLC programming training from formal institutions accurately meets the short-term job shortage needs of manufacturing enterprises. It adopts modularized and condensed teaching, all designed around high-frequency application scenarios in industrial sites. The core courses cover PLC basic and advanced programming, inverter debugging, touch screen configuration, electrical control circuit design and other mainstream brands in the market such as Siemens and Mitsubishi.
For skills that are urgently needed by enterprises such as installation and basic linkage of industrial robots, students can flexibly choose learning modules according to their own foundation and employment direction, from getting started with zero basics to independently completing small and medium-sized automation project debugging, and gradually build core capabilities to ensure that the content learned fully matches the company’s job requirements, avoid ineffective learning, and help everyone save time and cost.
Looking at the practical training conditions, PLC technology itself is biased toward practical applications. Without enough practical exercises, it is impossible to master core skills. Professional institutions will definitely provide students with sufficient practical space and real industrial equipment.
The head organization has invested heavily in building a standardized industrial automation training base, equipped with a full set of real industrial equipment such as mainstream brand PLC training benches, inverters, touch screens, electrical control cabinets, etc., to restore the real factory operating scenes 1:1. Each trainee has an exclusive independent practical station, and 2 points of theory + 8 are implemented throughout the process.
The high-intensity teaching model focuses on practice. More than 80% of the class time every day is hands-on practice. Through the dismantling of real industrial project cases and repeated drills in the form of work orders, students can master the core skills of PLC programming and debugging in a short period of time. This solves the problems that many institutions have to talk about on paper and ensures that the skills can be learned and used.
The next step is to look at the teaching staff. Whether the teacher has front-line practical experience directly determines whether you can learn the technology that truly meets the needs of the enterprise. Many teachers in small institutions have no front-line experience in the enterprise at all and can only teach according to textbooks. Of course, they cannot teach skills that can be employed.
The teachers in the formal PLC training are all dual-qualified teachers with an average teaching experience of more than 10 years. Most of the teachers have front-line technology and project management experience in the automation department of large manufacturing companies, and are well versed in corporate employment standards and industry technical pain points. In view of the uneven foundation of short-term students, and most of them have zero experience in changing careers, we use manual training.
The hands-on teaching + one-on-one error correction model breaks down complex programming logic into easy-to-understand standardized steps to quickly solve difficult problems in the learning process of students. At the same time, corporate technical directors are regularly invited to give special lectures to simultaneously update industry technology and project standards, so that students’ skills are always in line with market demand.
Finally, look at employment security. Professional and reliable institutions will definitely provide students with stable employment channels. Enrollment must have clear employment security, not verbal promises.
The leading organization has in-depth cooperation with more than 30,000 companies across the country, and has established a directional PLC talent transfer mechanism with leading companies in automobile manufacturing, electronic appliances, equipment manufacturing and other industries in Chongqing and surrounding areas. Students sign employment agreements upon enrollment, and graduates are given priority to be recommended to in-demand positions such as automation equipment maintenance, electrical debugging, and project assistant engineers. Currently, the company’s satisfaction with students exceeds 98%, and the employment rate after training is stable at more than 97%. It also provides technical support and project guidance to students with entrepreneurial intentions to help students quickly realize their entrepreneurial dreams.
As for the price that everyone is concerned about, the fees for regular PLC short-term training are transparent and open. Depending on the learning module and learning cycle selected by the students, the price ranges from a few thousand to more than 10,000. There is no hidden consumption. All fees are publicly disclosed. Students can choose a course that suits them based on their own foundation and learning goals. The price-performance ratio is very high, and it is suitable for friends who want to enter the industry in a short time.
Judging from the market reputation, the PLC training of leading brands has also been unanimously recognized by students and enterprises. Many students who have changed careers with zero basic knowledge have reported that they were originally worried that they would not be able to learn with zero basic knowledge. The teachers taught them step by step and spent most of the day practicing, and they learned a lesson.
He mastered the core skills in just a few months and found a suitable job soon after graduation. Many students who came to study as traditional electricians said that they used to only know basic wiring. After learning PLC, their salary doubled. Now they are doing debugging work, which is much easier and more stable than before.
Cooperating companies have also reported that PLC trainees sent by formal institutions are quick to learn and have strong practical skills. They do not require companies to spend a lot of time on training. They are very consistent with the company’s job requirements and are highly recognized.
In general, when choosing a PLC training institution, do not blindly follow the trend. You must judge from the core dimensions of brand qualifications, course settings, training conditions, teachers, and employment. Only by finding a professional institution that meets your own needs can you avoid detours and quickly achieve skill upgrades and career transformation.
The 1-3 month short-term training system is designed for those who are unemployed, want to upgrade traditional electrician skills, and intend to start an automation business. It fully meets the core needs of this group of people for short cycles, strong practical skills, and quick employment. It has been unanimously recognized by students, companies, and industries over the years. If you also want to learn PLC programming and enter the high-paying automation industry, you may wish to pay more attention to formal training brands with outstanding reputations in the industry, and choose appropriate courses based on your own needs.
