Siemens Customer Training

Siemens offers a variety of free and paid training services through their Training Web site.

Included is a series of “Blended Learning” modules that serve as prerequisites to Siemens's on-site classroom training courses. The Blended Learning modules provide solid introductions to key terminology, concepts and architecture which will be used in the subsequent classroom courses. Blended Learning tutorials include: “PLCs for Beginners”; “STEP7”; “S7PROFIBUS”; “S7 ETHERNET”; “S7PROFINET”; “MicroMaster 420”; and “ProTool Pro." Each Blended Learning module concludes with a self-guided quiz that allows the student to measure their own progress without their score being made available to anyone else. As Siemens says, these modules are a great opportunity for students to “jump-start” their learning experience.
