Free PLC training in Singapore

Engineers and technicians in Singapore can learn PLC programming, SCADA, drives and instrumentation free, online and at their own pace, with the courses below chosen for the city's refining & petrochemicals, aerospace mro & manufacturing, semiconductors & electronics. The optional certificate is US$23.99 (≈ SGD 31) for a beginner course.

Why automation skills matter in Singapore

Singapore's industry runs on process and precision automation: the refineries and chemical plants of Jurong Island, aero-engine work at Seletar Aerospace Park, wafer fabs, and the Tuas mega port. English is the common working language, and SkillsFuture supports ongoing upskilling.

Refining & petrochemicals

Jurong Island, developed by JTC, hosts refiners and chemical makers including ExxonMobil and BASF.

Aerospace MRO & manufacturing

Seletar Aerospace Park hosts Rolls-Royce's aero-engine assembly facility and Pratt & Whitney's manufacturing plant.

Semiconductors & electronics

Wafer fabrication has been a core export industry since Singapore's shift to high-tech manufacturing in the 1980s.

Ports & logistics

PSA's Tuas mega port began operations in 2021 and is due for full completion by 2040.

Questions from Singapore

Is there free PLC training in Singapore?

Yes, online. Every EDWartens course is free to learn in full from Singapore: 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$23.99 (about SGD 31), 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 Singapore?

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

Is the certificate recognised by employers in Singapore?

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.
