Control Techniques offers a wide variety of training programs to help new and experienced users learn how to use Control Techniques products. Several standard training classes are available to help you learn how to gain the most value from Control Techniques products. Custom training programs can also be provided at your facility. Our training classes are designed for audiences ranging from maintenance personnel to automation engineers.

Courses include:

  • Soft Starters
  • Commander SK and SyPT Lite
  • Commander GP20 and SyPT Lite
  • Unidrive SP and SyPT Lite
  • Unidrive SP and EZMotion
  • SyPT Pro Programming Toolkit
  • SyPT Motion Control / APC Advanced Position Control

  • PowerTools Pro setup & programming for FM3, FM4, & SM-EZMotion modules
  • MC Controller
  • Quantum and Mentor DC drives
  • All Products training for sales partners

    Our courses are designed to be both educational and enjoyable. We believe that most people "learn by doing". Therefore, we try to keep lecture times to a minimum so that the students will have plenty of time for hands-on exercises. Our courses are centered around working demo equipment so that the students can practice skills they learn using the same equipment they will find on the job. We also believe that a learning session is enhanced when the students take part in the class. We pair students together, whenever possible, and have them learn together. By doing so, a student who may have been hesitant to ask a question in front of the group will oftentimes learn the answer to the question from a peer instead of the instructor.
