Is easySoft free?
Yes to download and simulate; a licence is needed only to download to a physical easyE4.
easyE4 or Siemens LOGO!?
Both are control relays for small tasks; easyE4 adds SmartWire-DT, more expansion and cloud connectivity. The free LOGO! course covers the other one.
Are all lessons official?
Yes, all from Eaton's English channel.
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 Eaton qualification?
An EDWartens Certificate of Completion, issued when you pass the final assessment, with a verification code anyone can check. It is not an Eaton credential and is never described as one.
