Do you offer PLC training in Jebel Ali?
Yes. Engineers in Jebel Ali train with us either live online, or on-site at our Abu Dhabi centre — 110 km away, ~1.25 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.

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.

Is the certificate recognised in the UAE?
