Interactive Discussion Forums

We are very pleased to announce that we've just activated three new interactive discussion forums for registered students. The forums are accessed from within the online Student Support Center. The Programmable Logic Controllers Technical Training program now has its own private discussion forum, where students can share their comments, questions and experiences about the program with other enrolled students. The second forum is strictly a tutorial forum, where you can direct specific questions about course content to one of our online tutors. The last forum is a Program News Forum that we will use to keep you up-to-date on the latest news and important announcements from the program administrator. Check it out and join your fellow students online!

  1. The Data Communications chapter has been significantly expanded to include more in-depth and detailed coverage of communications technology including Internet, LANs and WANs.
  2. Increased special emphasis on installation and maintenance of PLCs, process control and industrial applications of PLCs, and input and output stages of PLC operations.
