SIMATIC S7 Service
and programming training:
based on STEP 7 V.5 or TIA Portal

We offer our complete SIMATIC S7 service and programming training as a two-track program: one track is based

on the TIA Portal and the other on STEP 7 Version 5.

SIMATIC S7 Staying with proven success:

based on the TIA Portal
The Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) Portal is the latest
generation of Siemens integrated engineering software.
Its innovative project planning interface is based on the
latest software technologies. The TIA Portal also scores
points with its user-oriented concept, a universal look and
feel, integrated intelligence and flawless data manage-
ment for both simple and complex applications.
Depending on your area of activity, we offer targeted
courses to help you get started quickly and easily or
migrate to the new engineering portal.
SIMATIC S7 based on STEP 7 Version 5
STEP 7 Version 5 is still being used successfully in count-
less numbers of applications. We will therefore continue
to support enhancements of this version in the future.
What sets all our courses apart:
Not only do you learn theory, but you can apply the
knowledge you acquire immediately in practical exercises,
which helps you quickly internalize what youve learned.
