Course Offerings

An increasing number of companies are turning to robotics to increase production efficiency. Robots have an impressive range of applications, from "pick and place" for packaging to welding, painting, or inspecting parts immediately after a process. However, robots are not foolproof; they require effective preventive maintenance to ensure they operate at full capacity. If a robot malfunctions, an experienced maintenance professional must know how to troubleshoot the exact cause. This online robotics course provides an intensive overview of the skills needed to succeed in the robotics industry and includes training with virtual reality simulations. During your robotics technician training, you will learn math, safety, quality, electrical systems, automation, mechanical systems, fluid systems, and rigging to be on your way to a successful career as a robotics technician. Upon completion of this online robotics program, you will be proficient in key robotics-related topics like production floor safety, robot programming and maintenance, PLC equipment and communication, general troubleshooting, and much more to ensure you are competent and confident in your new career.
