Hide-Aim
Ireland’s economic output value is led by the Food, Chemical, Pharmaceutical and IT/Computing industries and each of these sectors underpinned by a globally recognised expertise in advance manufacturing. Key to maintaining quality and regulatory standards, in addition to maintaining manufacturing competitive advantage, is design, build, commission, and maintenance of industrial PLC-based automation processes and systems.
This one year part-time Special Purpose Award is designed to address the ongoing skills shortage in the area of industrial PLC-based automation processes and systems. Graduates will be equipped for the various roles currently available primarily in the manufacturing, pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and medical device sector.
The programme is aimed at individuals who have basic PLC programming and SCADA experience and are looking to upskill in these areas. A strong emphasis is placed on enabling learners to further develop all their key skill sets required to support career opportunities. Utilising Siemens PLC hardware and software (TIA and PLCSIM Advanced) the learner will experience first-hand practical applications whilst enhancing the theory in order to expand their understanding of industrial PLC-based automation systems.
