The Certified PROFIBUS PA Engineer training course is an intensive four-day program.
We are an officially accredited PROFIBUS International Competence and Training Center. (PICC and PITC) and conduct many courses on fieldbus technology.

Since years, we are offering well established vendor independent and recoginzed PROFIBUS training in all kind of industries.
With help of our long time experience we offering end users PROFIBUS DP and PA certified technology courses.
 
This program is offically recognized by PROFIBUS International and represents a worldwide training standard.
During the first three days the trainee will gain all the necessary knowledge, theoretical and practical, regarding PROFIBUS PA and parts of DP technology.
