CPD Accredited Industrial Automation Training for Paris Professionals
Live online sessions from Paris, France | In-person available in Milton Keynes, UK
Industrial Automation in Paris
Paris and the Île-de-France region host a substantial industrial base beyond the city's famous cultural attractions. The aerospace cluster around Le Bourget, Dassault's Saint-Cloud operations, Schneider Electric's Rueil-Malmaison headquarters, and the automotive operations at Poissy and Flins create significant demand for PLC and SCADA expertise. EDWartens delivers CPD accredited training online from our UK centre, accessible to Parisian engineers via live sessions, with Eurostar making in-person attendance equally convenient.

The Automation Landscape in Paris
Paris and Île-de-France form France's automation nerve centre, with Schneider Electric's global headquarters at Rueil-Malmaison setting automation standards used across 100+ countries. The Le Bourget aerospace cluster houses Safran, Thales, and Dassault facilities using PLC-controlled assembly and test systems for jet engines and avionics. Stellantis' Poissy plant produces vehicles with heavy robotic automation, and Air Liquide's Paris-Saclay R&D centre develops process-control innovations for gas production worldwide. The Grand Paris Express metro project — Europe's largest infrastructure programme — requires extensive SCADA and tunnel-boring automation.
Did You Know?
Schneider Electric's headquarters at Rueil-Malmaison develops the Modicon PLC range — originally invented in 1968 as the world's first PLC — making Paris the birthplace of the entire programmable logic controller industry.
Career Outlook in Paris
Automation engineers in Paris earn €45,000–€65,000, with aerospace and Schneider Electric roles at the top end. The Grand Paris Express project alone will employ automation specialists through 2030. A UK CPD-accredited qualification is particularly valuable in the Parisian market, where international credentials complement French engineering diplomas and signal hands-on practical expertise.
