New training course for robotics and automation launched by EEF
EEF, the manufacturers’ organisation, has launched a new training course within the area of robotics and automation.
The course will give employees an opportunity to re-train and up-skill in new technology and will lead to the EAL level 3 Certificate in Robotics and Automation.
According to EEF, there is a skills gap with regards to robotics and automation. As companies are looking to install new technologies within factories, there is an essential need to develop the right skills to work alongside this technology in a manufacturing environment.
The course will last eight weeks and will include:
- Mechanical and electrical maintenance of automation.
- Robot processes and functions.
- Automated control systems.
- Machine software design.
- Robot programming.
- Simulation engineering.
It is aimed at employees with existing knowledge in manufacturing, those who wish to learn about robotics and automation engineering, as well as technicians and engineers who wish to enhance their skills.
The course will be taking place at EEF’s Advanced Technology Training Centre in Birmingham, which has state of the art robotics cells.
