Programmable Logic Controllers Online Training
Flexible, interactive, and efficient online training. Convert your computer into a virtual PLC and study at your own pace, on your schedule, in your home. The PLC Technician training program introduces the concepts of PLCs and explains how they can be used in a plant or manufacturing system. The simulation software lets you design ladder logic programs, perform tests, and simulate the operation of real-world components including motors, solenoid valves, and a wide variety of other discrete and analog I/O devices.

Our program features:

• Open enrollment and flexible payment options
• Interactive CD-ROM and online learning resources
• Hands-on labs using software simulation
• Free 1-800 technical, tutorial, and admin support
• Offered through a network of colleges across North America

Electric Power Distribution Workshops
The Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T), formerly University of Missouri-Rolla, in cooperation with Cooper Power Systems, offers a series of two- and three-day workshops on a broad range of topics related to electric power distribution. All courses feature highly polished workshop notes and PowerPoint presentations. These workshops are available for in-house or captive workshops.

2010 Open Registration Workshops:

• Symmetrical Components
  March 11-12
• Fundamentals of Power Distribution
  March 31-April 2
• Over Current Protection
  May 26-28
• Distribution Voltage Regulation
  August 17-19

Cable Splicing and Terminating of Medium-Voltage Cables
This course covers medium-voltage cable types, components and design, safe use of splicing tools, proper cable preparation, installation, and handling techniques. Students will perform splicing and terminating using tape, shrink, and molded technologies, as well as DC dielectric testing in lab.

Circuit Breaker Maintenance, Low-Voltage (1,000V or Less)
This course covers components and maintenance requirements for power circuit breakers equipped with electro-mechanical and solid-state trip devices. Students will perform a complete circuit breaker service in lab: inspection, removal, disassembly, cleaning, tightening, reassembly, lubrication, and adjustment; use high-current test sets and perform contact resistance and meghometer testing; and read and interpret manufacturers' trip curves.
