ratio of 2 to 1 ensures a
maximum involvement of
each participant.
Our scheduled courses
Understanding the needs of our cus-
tomers, all our training courses are
short and concise. We provide train-
ing for users of our S7 family as well
as for a wider range of A&D products
up to certified courses like RFID,
Profibus, etc.
For S7, SIMATIC STEP-by-STEP (ST-
Step) is the starting point for STEP7
learning, and it forms the pre-
requisite for most of our advanced
topic courses. Upon the successful of
this course, you can move on to any
of our courses that suit your needs
most. For example, we have courses
catering to specific needs such as Cer-
tified Profibus, SIMATIC Redundancy,
SIMATIC WinCC, etc.
Being a portable language within our
SIMATIC range, learning S7 allows
you to work with both our S7-300
and S7-400 ranges of PLCs.
The Center offers also a WinCC sys-
tem course, for users of our SCADA
solution and WinCC Flexible course
for users of our HMI Panels (Touch
Panel/Operator Panel). The Training
Center in Singapore is also the Re-
gional Training Partner for SIMATIC
PCS7, Siemens’ advanced process
control systems. PCS7 courses are
scheduled regularly in our Training
Center.
Learning in the sitrain™ environment
will bring you together with candi-
dates coming from different back-
grounds and different industries with
different job scope, it is interesting to
know that this actually improves the
learning process. Candidates are able
3
to think out of the box, and take
home with them working ideas which
have been employed successfully in
other areas.
Sitrain Singapore
On-demand courses
and custom-tailored
training
For courses not listed in our schedule,
these will be available on-demand,
subjected to a minimum class size.
The number of participants in our
SIMATIC training is limited to 8. Our
trainers can deal intensively with
questions and desires of the
Sitrain Singapore
individual participant. In each case
two participants work together on an
equipment place during the training
courses. This is developed in line with
standard usage and consists of a pro-
gramming device, automation equip-
ment and a plant model. Optimal
training success is guaranteed by the
small number of participants and the
practical use of equipment. We un-
derstand the work nature and envi-
ronment of our customers.
The Center offers also custom-
tailored training, and these can be
conducted either at Siemens Center
or on-site, to suit your exact needs.
You have the possibility of specifying
emphasis and topic areas according
to your needs.

Experienced Trainers
Our trainers come directly from the
real world and have didactic experi-
ence. Being practise-orientated this
makes it possible to effectively impart
the theoretical knowledge. And since
all theory is known to be grey, the
practical exercises occupy up to half
of our course time. In everyday work-
ing life, you can immediately apply
what you have learnt.
We train you on state-of-the-art, di-
dactically designed training units. On
them, you can train to your heart's
desire, until you feel absolutely confi-
dent. At the end of every course we
confirm which knowledge and which
capabilities you have acquired in an
official certificate, recognized world-
wide.
