Become a Certified PROFIBUS Engineer

PROFIBUS is one of the world market leaders in Fieldbus technology. Designed and produced by the combined efforts of many of the field’s top development engineers, PROFIBUS is renowned for its stability and reliability when properly installed and maintained.

You would not allow a bricklayer to fix your car. Having staff without any knowledge of the systems they are required to work on can be dangerous and costly, and employing staff who know only a little can be even more hazardous. Empowering your staff with the knowledge required to maintain your PROFIBUS network can reduce maintenance and downtime.

The PROFIBUS International Certified Engineers Course is a 4½ day, practical training course aimed at producing fully competent PROFIBUS personnel, with an in-depth understanding of the technology, and what goes into implementing and maintaining a well-structured and reliable PROFIBUS network.

Once trained, PROFIBUS Certified Engineers are equipped to troubleshoot any technical difficulties that might accompany a PROFIBUS installation.
