Being trained as Certified PROFINET Installer by Indu-Sol, your staff will gain specific expertise in commissioning and troubleshooting of PROFINET networks. This promotes an increased competitiveness of your business. During the 2.5-day training course the participants are educated theoretically and practically in PROFINET topics. Thereby, they can deepen their acquired knowledge in practice-oriented exercises. Finally, the participants have the opportunity to absolve the examination to become a Certified Installer.

The training course enables your staff to prevent mistakes in planning, installing, debugging and maintaining PROFINET networks so that the reliable functioning of your plant is ensured. The content of the training and the final examination have been certified by PROFIBUS / PROFINET International (PI). After successful completion of the 1.5 hour final test, the participants receive an official certificate as a proof of their qualification as Certified PROFINET Installer.

Examination

The certificate examination consists of a theoretical part (20 multiple-choice questions) and a practical part (troubleshooting and commissioning). Both parts of the exam are scheduled to take 2 hours each. The exam is conducted according to the official PI specifications.

For optimal preparation, relevant topics are repeated compactly on the day of the exam and practice exercises are set.

Certificate

Each participant will receive an Indu-Sol participant certificate after completing the "Certified PROFINET Installer" training.

In addition, participants will receive an internationally recognised "Certified PROFINET Installer" certificate from PROFIBUS & PROFINET International (PI) after successfully passing the 4-hour final examination. The acquired qualification is officially registered in the PI directory.

In case of failure, the certificate exam can be repeated within one year.
