ACTC Training Courses

Training courses are provided on a wide range of subjects, from fundamental control theory to advanced control philosophies and expert systems. These can be used as refresher courses for your engineers, or to bring a team up to speed on new or advanced techniques.

The training courses can be customised so that the material targets a particular area, alternatively examples can be used that have relevance to the trainees' business.

  • A list of our standard training courses provided by the ACTC can be found here.
  • A complete list of ON-LINE training courses available to the ACTC member companies can be found here.
