Our philosophy for training focuses on one idea. If a technician or engineer can build a system, they will be able to fix it when something isn’t working correctly.
We offer automation training at half the price of your typical vendor. Why? Because we use your equipment for the training. You’ll get quality, hands-on training on the latest versions of the software you’re already using.
The 2026 pricing is as follows:
| Course Length | Price per student |
| 1 Day | $625.00 USD |
| 2 Days | $1000.00 USD |
| 3 Days | $1406.25 USD |
| 4 Days | $1750.00 USD |
| 4.5 Days | $1898.46 USD |

A note about SLC-500/PLC-5 Training
Effective December 31, 2025, the PLC-5 reached its end of life with Rockwell Automation.
This means there will no longer be any updates to the RSLogix 5 software and PLC-5 hardware.
However, since the PLC-5 has been a workhorse for industry for decades, there’s a massive amount of equipment still in use.
We’ll continue to offer PLC-5 training, provided the client has the hardware and software licenses available for use during the classes.
Likewise, there are no longer improvements being made to the SLC-500 system. Again, if you have a need for this training, we can provide it as long as you have the equipment and licenses available for the training.
By clients providing the essential training equipment, we are able to offer significantly reduced pricing for classes. See the list of training available below.
