Prices checked 28 October 2026. Our courses are independent and are not regulated qualifications. Free routes first: the free PLC courses, the free ladder logic course and the electrician to PLC path; paid routes are listed on fees and payment, and funded PLC training in England explains what funding exists. No course guarantees a job or a salary. All come with a 14-day right to cancel for consumers; see cancellations and refunds. The Siemens and Allen-Bradley Modules are independent of Siemens AG and Rockwell Automation and are not official vendor courses. Not sure this is the right kind of training for you?
