Deliver the PLC portion of an industrial-maintenance or electromechanical apprenticeship as a browser-based, auto-graded course. Apprentices read and write ladder logic, work motor-control and troubleshooting exercises, and build the controls fluency the 525-hour PLC module calls for — on any device, alongside their OJL hours. For employers and registered training providers running registered apprenticeships, upskilling and reskilling.

Where it fits
A registered apprenticeship pairs on-the-job learning with required related instruction. The hands-on hours stay at the panel; the reading-ladder-logic, PLC-theory and fault-finding competencies are exactly the kind of related instruction that scales in simulation. This platform delivers that PLC portion, auto-graded, so every apprentice progresses on their own device and arrives at the bench already fluent.
Stays at the plant — installing, maintaining and calibrating real PLCs, VFDs and field devices under a journeyworker.
Delivered here: read and write ladder logic, PLC components and theory, install/repair/troubleshoot, all auto-graded in the browser.
Stays at the panel — wiring real I/O and live troubleshooting, now spent on real work because the theory is already fluent.
The PLC module
Apprentices learn to read a rung, trace logic, and predict an output — the single most useful PLC skill on a maintenance call, drilled across 40+ industrial scenarios.
CPU, I/O modules, the scan cycle, addressing and field devices — the architecture a technician must understand before touching a controller.
A fault-injection mode breaks a working program or I/O so apprentices practise systematic fault-finding — the core of an industrial-maintenance role — safely and repeatably.
A guided wiring tutor plus motor-control and VFD logic bridge into the hands-on install and commissioning work apprentices do at the bench.
What it covers
Every concept below is something an apprentice reads, writes, runs or troubleshoots in the browser — auto-graded, on any device, between OJL hours. It builds the controls fluency the related-instruction PLC module calls for.
What you get
Apprentices and technicians build ladder-logic and fault-finding fluency on their own device, so scarce bench and OJL time goes to real hands-on work.
Every submission is marked instantly, and a portfolio PDF of timestamped, name-attributed completions supports your related-instruction records.
Rotate seats through a maintenance crew or successive cohorts — pay for seats in use, reassign when an apprentice completes or moves on.
Shared training-room PCs, Chromebooks, tablets, apprentices’ own laptops — nothing for IT to install, no licence keys.
The same platform brings incumbent maintenance technicians up to speed on PLCs — not only registered apprentices.
A wiring tutor and fault-injection mode deliberately prepare apprentices for the hands-on install, wiring and commissioning OJL.
Pricing & rollout
Trial the full platform free and pilot it with a few apprentices before involving procurement. Pro seats are $199/seat/year on annual billing, reassignable as apprentices complete or rotate, with bulk and employer pricing on request. No minimum seat count. See full pricing →
