Common questions
Is EPLAN free?
EPLAN Education is free for students and teachers, and a trial exists; either covers the course.
Why EPLAN rather than AutoCAD Electrical?
Indian OEMs supplying European customers are asked for EPLAN; both courses are here, take the one your employer names.
Is Pro Panel included?
Yes, as the 3D half: layout, routing, Smart Wiring and production.
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 a vendor qualification?
An EDWartens Certificate of Completion, issued when you pass the final assessment, with a verification code anyone can check. It is not a vendor credential and is never described as one.
