A shareable EDWartens certificate

Finish every module and pass the final assessment, and you can buy a certificate for ₹700. It carries a unique verification code on a public page anyone can check, so it stands up when a recruiter looks it up.

  • Link it from a CV or portfolio, the URL is permanent
  • Publicly verifiable by code, not a PDF anyone can edit
  • Issued by EDWartens India, the training centre itself

The course itself stays free whether or not you ever buy one.

Stuck? Ask a practising engineer

A free course usually means a comment section and hope. This one does not. Every module has an Ask-your-trainer panel that reaches the same engineers who teach our paid programme: people who commission panels for a living, not moderators.

  • Questions answered in the context of the module you are on
  • The same engineers who teach the AEP programme
  • Career tools, CV help and public job listings included
  • Your progress and notes stay in your account for good

Common questions

Is this the same as CX-Programmer?

No. Sysmac Studio is Omron's current platform for NX and NJ controllers; CX-Programmer covers the older CJ and CP families and has its own free course here.

How long is it?

About fourteen hours of video including Omron's five training sessions, plus practice and assessments.

Do I need a licence?

The 30-day trial of Sysmac Studio with its simulator is enough for the whole course.

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.
