Common questions
Citect or Plant SCADA?
Same product: Citect SCADA was renamed AVEVA Plant SCADA in 2021. The lessons cover both names and the 2023 release.
Is there a free version?
AVEVA offers a trial; the software also runs in a demo mode with limits sufficient for every exercise.
Some source lessons are members-only. Are they included?
No. One series was entirely members-only and was left out; the remaining series are public.
Is the course really free?
Yes. Every module, practice task and assessment. You create an account so your progress is saved and the assessments can be marked. The certificate is the only paid item, and only if you want it.
What certificate do I get, and is it an AVEVA qualification?
An EDWartens Certificate of Completion, issued when you pass the final assessment, with a verification code anyone can check. It is not an AVEVA credential and is never described as one.
