Industrial Automation in Dubai
Dubai's automation demand is driven less by heavy industry than by logistics, utilities and building systems at enormous scale. DP World's Jebel Ali terminals run some of the most automated container handling in the region, DEWA operates an extensive SCADA estate across generation and distribution, and Dubai Industrial City and Dubai Investments Park host hundreds of food, plastics and packaging plants. Add the emirate's data centres, district cooling networks and Expo City infrastructure, and control-systems skills are consistently in demand. Our CPD accredited programmes are delivered live online and onsite from our Abu Dhabi centre, around 90 minutes down the E11.

Why Train for Dubai Jobs?
Dubai employers hire for breadth — the same engineer may touch a chiller plant, a bottling line and a port crane PLC in one year. Vendor-neutral Siemens and Allen-Bradley skills travel further here than a single-platform certificate.

Questions
PLC training in Dubai — common questions
Do you offer PLC training in Dubai?
Yes. Engineers in Dubai train with us either live online, or on-site at our Abu Dhabi centre — 140 km away, ~1.5 hours by road. Both routes cover the same five-day syllabus on the same Siemens and Allen-Bradley hardware and lead to the same CPD accredited certificate.
How much does PLC training cost in Dubai?
The Professional Module is AED 9,995 plus 5% VAT, giving a total of AED 10,495. That covers all five days, the hardware you train on, the recorded material and the CPD accredited certificate. We publish the fee openly — most providers in this market quote only on enquiry.
How long is the PLC and SCADA course?
Five days of instruction, plus roughly 12 hours of recorded content you keep access to afterwards. Cohorts are capped at 12 so everyone gets sustained hands-on time rather than watching a demonstration. Weekday and weekend intakes both run; contact us for the next available date.
Do I need experience to start PLC training?
No prior PLC experience is required. The programme starts from first principles and is built for electrical technicians, maintenance staff, instrumentation engineers and recent graduates. A working understanding of basic electrical concepts helps, but you do not need to have programmed a controller before.
Which PLC brands and software will I learn?
Siemens and Allen-Bradley, the two platforms that dominate Gulf industry — TIA Portal with S7-1200 and S7-1500, and Studio 5000 with CompactLogix. You will also cover HMI development, SCADA concepts, VFDs and industrial networking including PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and Modbus.
Is the certificate recognised in the UAE?
The programme is CPD accredited, which is an internationally portable continuing-professional-development standard rather than a national licence. Employers across the UAE and the wider Gulf recognise it. Every certificate carries a unique number that can be checked at https://edwartens.biz/verify.
Can I train online from Dubai?
Yes. Live online delivery covers the same syllabus with the same instructor, and you work against the same exercises. It suits engineers who cannot take a week away from a plant. If you want physical time on the panels, the on-site option in Abu Dhabi remains open to you.
What automation jobs are there in Dubai?
Dubai's demand comes mainly from logistics & ports, utilities & water, building automation & district cooling. Employers hiring control and automation staff in the area include DEWA, DP World, ENOC. Around AED 15,000 per month is a typical mid-level figure for a PLC or automation engineer in Dubai, based on publicly advertised roles.
