IDC offers online Diploma in Industrial Automation
Third Quarter 2008
News & events
Building on a highly successful launch earlier this year, IDC's Advanced Diploma in Industrial Automation is now attracting enquiries for the last intake of 2008.
"If you are thinking of a serious boost for your professional career, this might be just the course you are after", says IDC Technologies engineering manager, Steve Mackay.
Registrations for this course close in September. Studying via online distance learning, students in this year's two previous intakes are based in various countries including Canada, Australia, the UK, South Africa, France and Argentina.
The course includes weekly live, interactive presentations over the web, presented by leading experts. There are also assignments, reading and simulations to complete.
Mackay notes, "There is a critical shortage of automation, instrumentation and control engineers around the world now due to retirement, restructuring and rapid growth in new industries and technologies." He says that a career in industrial automation can be well paid, challenging, but ultimately enjoyable.
"This is a practical course and students will be valued in the workplace where time is short and immediate results, with hard-hitting and useful know-how, are required as a minimum."
The course is endorsed by The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) which was formed by the Institution of Electrical Engineers and the Institution of Incorporated Engineers. It has more than 150 000 members worldwide.
IDC currently offers 16 different 3 month Certificate courses and an 18 month Advanced Diploma in Industrial Automation. The list of courses available through e-learning is constantly growing.
