PROFIBUS Courses

The PROFIBUS courses are intensive, hands-on, training classes. Over the past 10+ years, over a thousand engineers have been trained and certified on the PROFINET and PROFIBUS technologies. We offer three different courses on PROFIBUS:

The PROFIBUS Certified Network Engineer Course teaches all aspects of the PROFIBUS DP and PA technologies. From the basics, to design tips, installation, features to protocol details, configuration, diagnostics, and troubleshooting, including hands-on experience for almost all topics. This certified course includes a written multiple choice exam and a practical test. Successful students will receive an official Certified Network Engineer (and Installer, where applicable) certificate from PI North America and 24 Professional Development (PDH) credit hours, and can be listed on the PI International website as a certified expert.

The PROFIBUS Troubleshooting, Maintenance, and Certified Installer Course is designed for those who install and maintain PROFIBUS DP or PA installations. The class provides a mixture of theory and hands-on experience to give attendees the skill set they need, and the ability to put it into practice immediately. The course ends with both a written and practical test. Successful students will have their names listed on the PI International website as a Certified PROFIBUS Installer.

The PROFIBUS Certified System Design course is designed for the network designer. It is focused on the big picture of how to properly design a network. A theory test at the end of the course ensures that the attendees understand and can apply the material covered. Successful candidates will be awarded the Certified PROFIBUS System Designer status.

No specific prerequisites are required for taking the courses, however, some automation or networking background will help.
