Programmer Certificate Program - IT Option
Our programmer track will take you from zero knowledge to programming central utility plants in 120 to 150 days. Building Automation Programmers are one of the most sought-after roles in the BAS industry. Traditionally you would need to spend 5 to 10 years learning how to program and hoping that you were able to get on a project that would give you the experience to practice programming. The fact is manufacturer training teaches you how to use their software tools not how to program. Students get to choose from two options for the Programmer Certificate Program: IT Option and Protocol Option.Â
Our Programmer Certificate Program helps students to:
- Independently write programs from scratch in as little as 3 months
- Complete all training online
- Go from zero knowledge to creating airside and hydronic controls programs in less than 120 days.
