Questions
PLC course in Bangalore: questions
Brands, fees, duration, syllabus, travel and the guarantee.
Ask us insteadAsk each institute the same questions: which PLC brands you will program and whether on hardware or a simulator, how many hours you spend on panels, the batch size, what certificate you receive and who issues it, whether any placement promise is in writing and what its conditions are, and whether you can see the lab before paying. EDWartens answers these at its Electronic City centre, and visits can be booked on +91 96068 68686.
The AEP covers 20 PLC brands, including Siemens (S7-1200, S7-1500, TIA Portal), Allen-Bradley (CompactLogix, ControlLogix, Studio 5000), Mitsubishi (FX, iQ-R), Delta (DVP, AS), ABB (AC500), Schneider Electric (Modicon, EcoStruxure), Omron (CP, CJ, NX), Keyence (KV), Beckhoff (TwinCAT), B&R, GE (VersaMax, RX3i), Festo. DCS platforms (Yokogawa, Honeywell, Emerson DeltaV) are taught separately as DCS concepts and are not counted as PLC brands.
Published fees for PLC courses in Bangalore vary with duration, the number of brands, hours on hardware, batch size and what is included; a comparison with sources is at edwartens.co.in/blog/plc-training-fees-bangalore-2026. EDWartens does not publish one AEP fee; the fee is agreed with each candidate after counselling and can be paid in 3, 6, 9 or 12 instalments. Call +91 96068 68686 for a counselling session.
Hands-on PLC training means you wire, program and fault-find PLCs yourself rather than watching demonstrations. At EDWartens you practise on wired PLC training panels in the Electronic City classroom: writing the logic, downloading it, going online and finding the fault when the machine does not do what you expected.
The PLC course is the Automation Engineer Program (AEP), which lasts 3 to 12 months. The classroom part is 67 teaching sessions in six phases (phase 0 to phase 5), and each phase ends with a gate or exam you pass before moving on. The placement and project phase then runs from month 3 up to month 12, which is why the total depends on the phases a candidate completes.
Foundation (electrical and automation basics, PLC core concepts), basic engineering (drawing, panel design, starter wiring, VFD basics), Siemens in depth (TIA Portal, HMI, WinCC SCADA, SINAMICS drives), Allen-Bradley in depth (Studio 5000, FactoryTalk View, RSLogix 500), multi-platform breadth (other PLC brands, Function Block Diagram and Structured Text, more SCADA and HMI software, drives, DCS, pneumatics, IIoT and AI for automation engineers), then interview and resume preparation. The phase-by-phase table is on this page.
Yes. The full AEP syllabus is a free PDF at edwartens.co.in/downloads/aep-syllabus.pdf, with no form to fill in. It is built from the same course schedule as the table on this page.
PLC makers run their own training and certification, for example Siemens and Rockwell Automation, and those certificates come only from the maker. EDWartens does not issue any vendor certification, and the AEP is not a university or government qualification. At the end of the AEP you receive an experience certificate from Wartens describing the training and project work you did; how much weight it carries is each employer's decision.
