FAQ
PLC training FAQs
Which course should I start with?
If you're new to PLCs, start with the Foundation course for your platform — CIC-SP-101 for Small PLC Systems or CIC-LX-101 for Logix Systems. From there, choose the Maintenance and Troubleshooting pathway if your job is keeping plant running, or the Programming and Development pathway if you'll be writing and structuring PLC applications. If you're unsure, send an enquiry and we'll recommend a starting point.
How is the training delivered?
All courses are hands-on and run on dedicated desktop trainer stations — one student per station, no sharing. Exercises are progressive ladder-logic and fault-finding tasks based on industrial applications, with small classes and direct instructor support.
Which PLC platforms and software do the courses cover?
The catalogue is built around Allen-Bradley. Small PLC Systems courses progress through RSLogix 500, Connected Components Workbench and FactoryTalk Design Workbench; Logix Systems courses progress from RSLogix 5000 to Studio 5000.
Where is the training held?
Courses run in Sydney, with venue details confirmed when you book. Private plant training can be delivered at your site, built around your own equipment, programs and maintenance problems.
When are the next course dates?
Every published date shows its current registration status. An open shared week can be selected for an eligible Maintenance and Troubleshooting course; once assigned, it appears only for that course. CIC reviews course fit and sends the invoice or payment link. A place is secured when the required deposit is received. Foundation and programming course dates are arranged on enquiry.
How much does a course cost?
Pricing depends on the course and whether it's an individual place, a company booking or private on-site delivery. Send an enquiry and we'll come back with current pricing and options.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes — participants receive a CIC certificate of completion.
Can training be tailored to our plant?
Yes. The Private Plant Training Programme is customised around your equipment, your programs and the maintenance problems your team actually faces, delivered on site where practical.
