Questions from Jakarta

Is there free PLC training in Jakarta?

Yes, online. Every EDWartens course is free to learn in full from Jakarta: video lessons, notes, practice and a final assessment, in English, at your own pace. They run in the vendors' free or trial software with simulators, so you need a computer, not a PLC.

How much is the certificate?

The certificate is optional. For a beginner course it is US$4.99 (about IDR 82,000), a one-off fee; intermediate and advanced courses cost a little more. Learning stays free whether or not you buy it.

Which PLC should I learn first in Jakarta?

Start with Mitsubishi FX with GX Works2. It matches what plants in the region commonly run; the other courses on this page follow Jakarta's main industries.

Is the certificate recognised by employers in Jakarta?

It is an EDWartens Certificate of Completion with a public verification code, not a vendor, university or government qualification. Employers can check it online; many will also want to see a project you built.
