Pick a free course or a learning path, create your free account and enrol. If you want a classroom or live online programme, book free counselling. Everything else can wait.

  5. 5Add a certificate

    If you want proof

A simple order that works for most people:

  1. Choose where to start. Browse the free courses. Not sure which? Use the learning plan builder, or pick a ready-made path. Beginner courses need no experience.
  2. Create your free account. See How do I create an account?
  3. Enrol on the course: see How do I enrol on a course?
  4. Practise in LADX Mini, the ladder-logic simulator in your portal, while you learn.
  5. Pass the final and, if you want proof, add the certificate.
  6. Go further if you want a job in automation: read Which programmes can I join?, or call us for free counselling.

You do not have to follow this order. Everything on the free side is open to you once you have an account.
