You don't need to spend thousands of dollars to learn how to use, Connected Components Workbench (CCW) with Allen-Bradley Drives. All you need is our affordable CCW VFD Quickstart course.

CCW VFD Quickstart is the perfect online course for electricians, technicians, and engineers who want to learn to use Connected Component Workbench (CCW) with Allen-Bradley Drives. Taught by a factory certified automation specialist with over thirty years of experience, in this course you will learn everything you need to know to get started using CCW with VFDs with confidence.

Unlike other vendor's courses that become available only after you purchase their expensive hardware or trainers, our PLC courses doesn't require you to purchase any additional parts as we show you how to download and use the free editions of the Allen-Bradley PLC Programming and Emulation software used in this course.

And for those who'd prefer to learn with a physical PLC, we also cover which Programmable Controllers and Programming cables work best and why, as well as how to set them up and program them. We even provide you with a list of components and devices used to build the affordable, homemade PLC trainer we use in this course.

Unlike other companies whose job is done once the sale is complete, we're committed to your success and actively encourage students to post questions in the lesson discussion area. Our expert instructors visit The Automation School each weekday to support and answer student questions.

We also invite you to come back and retake any lesson as the need arises, which is made possible by the fact that none of our course come with an expiration date.
