Question: Does anyone know where to take courses for SCADA? Seems to me the courses I find are for building managers on proprietary equipment they have had installed? I have had basic plc training and use it to a limited degree in the field. I ask because a lot of jobs I have applied for want SCADA experience and my experience is that if you don't work for Honeywell you dont get any real training.

Tips for Choosing a Course

Consider the level of your existing experience and knowledge. Look for courses that cover the specific aspects of SCADA you need to learn. Check the course instructor's credentials and experience. Choose a course that offers hands-on practical training if possible. Consider the cost and time commitment required.

Additional Notes:
While some proprietary SCADA systems have specific training requirements, most employers will value general SCADA knowledge and skills. Building automation SCADA systems may differ slightly from industrial SCADA systems, but the core principles remain the same.* Learning SCADA through hands-on experience in the field is also valuable, but it's important to supplement this with formal training to ensure a comprehensive understanding.
