'Distinguish yourself from the others and show that you are the expert.....Become a Certified PROFIBUS Engineer. '

certified engineer at PROCENTEC Singapore Introduction
The 'Certified PROFIBUS Engineer' course is a world wide recognized training program. It's standardized by PROFIBUS International to create a quality platform for PROFIBUS qualified persons who are acknowledged by an official exam.

The Certified PROFIBUS Engineer course is an intensive hands-on and theoretical 4-day training program. On the last day there will be an exam. After passing the exam, the participant gets the title ‘Certified Engineer' and will be officially registered. The registration is valid for 3 years. Extension is granted after a fresh up course.

The Certified PA module takes 2½ days (including the exam) and is fully concentrated on PROFIBUS PA. It is only accessible for people who have passed the standard Certified PROFIBUS Engineer course.

PROFIBUS plays a primary part in industrial automation and in most cases Certified Engineers are the only ones who can carry out the project. Through the valuable Certified Engineer status, companies and its employees can distinguish themselves from the other companies who are involved with this technology.
