Networking
An event for business leaders looking to invest in developing and enhancing talent around robotics, maintenance & programming
Attend the launch of our brand new automation line at our state-of-the-art Telford Academy and accompanying level 3-4 courses:
L3 1 Day Automated Cell Operator
L3 Programming of Robotics
L3 Industrial Robot Technology
L4 Automation, Robotics and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)
Develop your workforce in Automation and Robotics
Learners will have access to modular courses designed to introduce them to industrial robotic technologies and progress their technical skills to boost productivity.
Importantly, workers will be trained on ABB robots – the line also features an integrated Siemens PLC control system and a state-of-the-art dosing system, fully integrated in a Kyrus guarding enclosure.
Investment through the Local Skills Improvement Fund (LSIF)
The new Robotic and Automation training line has been made possible by a £200,000 investment through the Local Skills Improvement Fund (LSIF) and the Marches Education Partnership.
We have also joined forces with Telford-based Bauromat UK to design the facility and come up with a solution that will give learners access to technology that is being used on shopfloors now and in the future.
Courses Available

• Understand robot programming
Level 4 – Automation, Robotics and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) – 10 days – Pearson BTEC accredited
• Understand PLC system operational characteristics and programming languages
• Know how to write PLC programs using a language of their choice
• Understand how to program an industrial robot
• Understand the safety factors involved in the design of an automation cell
From getting started to more advanced skills
Our courses have been designed by talking to employers about what they need, so start with a Level 3 in Automated Cell Operator for new entrants and then move on to Programming of Robots and a Level 4 Automation, Robotics and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) accredited course.
Learners will begin to understand how robots work, embracing the controlling principles and assessing health and safety considerations.
For the more advanced course, you will receive a more in-depth understanding of the electric, mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic operation of common industrial robots and, importantly, know how to select and programme them for shopfloor requirements.
