For you
Taking Siemens Safety Integrated: S7-1500F and S7-1200F in TIA Portal from the United States
- Free in the United States, as everywhere, and self-paced: lessons, notes and the final assessment are open at any hour, so your time zone and shift pattern do not matter.
- The optional certificate for learners in the United States is a one-off US$28.99. What you get for it
- Siemens is one of the automation brands most widely installed across the Americas, so this is a skill plants and integrators near you ask for.
- See automation and engineering jobs in the United States, and what the industry looks like in Houston, Detroit and Chicago.
- EDWartens also has a regional site for the United States, for classroom training and local support: edwartens.com/us.
The course project 路 about 18 hours
Press-brake safety retrofit on a CPU 1214FC: SRS, F-program, validation to ISO 13849-2
Design, program, test and validate the safety system for a 100-tonne hydraulic press brake: E-stop, a Type 4 light curtain muted only at creep speed, two-hand control, a locked rear guard and feedback-monitored contactors and valves, on a CPU 1214FC with SM 1226 F-DI and F-DQ modules. You deliver the safety requirements specification, your own I/O list with F-addresses, the F-program with its collective signature, and a validation report with a measured stopping time. The sample pack shows what a machine-safety integrator hands over.
Sample document pack, 8 documents, filled in for the scenario
- Risk registerRisk Assessment Register: Hydraulic Press Brake PB-1 (ISO 12100)

A shareable EDWartens certificate
Finish every module and pass the final assessment, and the optional EDWartens certificate is yours. It carries a unique verification code on a public page anyone can check, so it stands up when a recruiter looks it up. See it below.
The course itself stays free whether or not you ever buy one.
Stuck? Ask a practising engineer
A free course usually means a comment section and hope. This one does not. Every module has an Ask-your-trainer panel that reaches the same engineers who teach our paid programme: people who commission panels for a living, not moderators.
Pairs well with
PLC programming 路 FreeSiemens TIA PortalFrom zero electrical knowledge to a working, simulated S7-1200 program, for nothing.
PLC programming 路 FreeSiemens TIA Portal in Three HoursThe first three hours of the Siemens TIA Portal course, cut to end on a win: what a PLC is, how it is wired, a project configured in TIA Portal, and your first ladder program running in simulation. Finish it in an evening or two, earn a certificate, and carry straight on into the full course.
PLC programming 路 FreeTIA Portal: Build a MachineOne machine, start to finish. Take a bottle filling line from a written specification and an I/O list to a structured S7-1200 program with a fill station, a capper, a reject sorter and an operator screen with alarms, then test it against a written record and archive it for hand-over. The lessons are the reference; the machine is yours, and it is what you submit.

Common questions
Do I need STEP 7 Safety?
The TIA Portal trial includes STEP 7 Safety Advanced, enough to build and compile every safety program in the course.
Does this make me a certified safety engineer?
No. It teaches the Siemens implementation of functional safety; formal certification (T脺V FS Engineer and similar) is a separate path this course prepares you for.
Is the S7-1200F covered?
Yes, alongside the S7-1500F and ET 200SP fail-safe modules.
Is the Siemens Safety Integrated course really free?
Yes. Every module, practice task and assessment. You create an account so your progress is saved and the assessments can be marked. The certificate is the only paid item, and only if you want it.
What certificate do I get, and is it a vendor qualification?
An EDWartens Certificate of Completion, issued when you pass the final assessment, with a verification code anyone can check. It is not a vendor credential and is never described as one.
Who made the video lessons in the Siemens Safety Integrated course?
The creators named in the Credits block at the foot of this page, on their own YouTube channels. EDWartens did not make the videos and the creators are not affiliated with EDWartens. What EDWartens wrote is the study plan, the notes, the practice tasks and the assessments.
How long does the Siemens Safety Integrated course take?
Plan on about 14 hours in all, including the video lessons, notes and practice tasks. It is self-paced, so you work through the eleven modules at your own speed.
