EnglishCompanies and industries are increasingly automating in order to remain competitive. This in turn has created a need for knowledgeable staff with expertise in installation, commissioning and performing service / maintenance on the often advanced equipment. That is why we have developed our distance education for Automation Technicians.

Automation technology is a general term. It happens that you are also called control and regulation technicians. If the work is performed in a process industry, you can also be called an instrument technician. You can also be employed as a maintenance technician or as a service technician in the engineering industry.
An automation technician does not necessarily have to work in industry but can also work in e.g. property automation, sales of automation equipment, service / consulting companies in automation.
Because the tasks are varied, an automation technician needs knowledge of different types of automation, such as control technology, control technology and electronics and mechatronics, as well as computer technology and IT.
Approved primary school. We also recommend passing the high school's first courses in Swedish, English and Mathematics.
If you complete the entire program, it totals 1500 credits, including the municipal adult education project (Komvuxarbete).
You will alternate between studying our online courses remotely and attending the school in Sundsvall or Solna. The program includes 15% workplace-based learning (WBL).
We have our own web-based education portal, where you can access your courses with study schedules and information on the goals and requirements needed to pass. The education portal also provides support and additional information you need during your studies.
In the program, you will use various simulation programs, so you must have access to a computer (PC) with a Windows operating system.
