During this 10-week course, our team will help you to navigate the basics of Robotics & Automation to enhance your CV for career progression.

This course includes the following modules:

•    Safety
•    Operational Modes
•    Manual Movement (“Jogging”)
•    Coordinate systems (World, Base, Tool)
•    Basic movement programming (PTP, LIN, CIRC)
•    Pick and Place programming
•    Overview of offline programming (KUKA SIM)

This course will support upskilling within your current role, which can then be used to progress into more senior/complex job roles or to support a career change into automation/industrial robotics sectors.

This course will support learners gaining employment in the industry of Advanced Manufacturing or to progress onto further study/higher education. 

For entry onto this qualification learners must have a keen interest in Pneumatics (Automation). It would be beneficial to have an understanding of Industrial Robotics/Electrical engineering, but not essential.
