Students can still register for eight-week courses, and prospective students can apply online. Many Wake Tech services are available virtually. Employees who can work remotely should do so.
The PLC Programming Certificate provides the skills and knowledge needed to work with the programmable logic controllers (PLCs) typically found in an industrial environment.

Students entering the program are expected to have a basic knowledge of AC and DC electrical circuits.
