Is GP-Pro EX free?
Pro-face offers a trial; its simulation runs every screen and logic exercise.
Which panels are covered?
GP4000 and SP5000 series through GP-Pro EX; the same software covers older GP3000 projects via the converter.
Why is this course shorter?
Most official lessons are one-minute feature clips; the course groups them into working modules with a 106-minute basic training as the backbone.
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 Pro-face qualification?
An EDWartens Certificate of Completion, issued when you pass the final assessment, with a verification code anyone can check. It is not a Pro-face or Schneider Electric credential and is never described as one.
