YOUR TEAM, AT A GLANCE
INCLUDED WITH COMPANY PLANS
Turn training into a clear, manageable program.
See meaningful progress
Review assignments, completions, reported lesson stages and active training time. Export a CSV for your records.
Keep the conversation together
Private training messages connect learners with their Department Heads and the supervisors responsible for their groups.
PROGRESS WORTH RECOGNIZING
Encourage learning.
Not rushing.
The organization leaderboard recognizes assigned levels completed and on-time completion. Speed does not determine rank.
Department Heads can turn it off, and learners can hide themselves from the board without changing their training records.

Give every person
a clear next step.
The Department Head dashboard brings seats, people and training together. A guided tour walks new managers through setup; the assignment form organizes the next round of learning.
- Invite people and organize crews into groups
- Assign levels, due dates and refreshers
- Review progress and overdue assignments
SEE THE WHOLE TRAINING PICTURE
Know what is complete.
See what needs attention.
The skills matrix brings assigned training together in one view. Department Heads see their organization; Supervisors see the people in their managed groups.

- Refreshers shown alongside prior passes
- Group filters, CSV export and printable reports
NEW · INCLUDED WITH COMPANY PLANS
A clearer starting point
for every new hire.
Find knowledge gaps before you plan onboarding. Department Heads and Supervisors can create a trade-knowledge assessment around the role, with safety included every time.
- Choose relevant topics. Electrical, troubleshooting, pneumatics, PLCs, HMIs, VFDs and analog signals, alongside required safety questions.
- Give the candidate a code. They take the assessment on a desktop or laptop, without an email account or a Controls Trainer login.
- Plan the next steps. Review module scores, safety-critical misses and suggested practice lessons in a printable report.
- Keep the history if hired. Link the completed assessment to the employee’s company record while preserving the original answers and scores.
Enter the candidate’s name, position and assessment date, then generate their access code. Save reusable module selections for roles you hire regularly.
A knowledge-screening tool, not a trade certification or an automatic hiring decision. Pair results with an interview and a supervised practical assessment.

A FEW USEFUL DETAILS
Before you get started.
Need a hand choosing? Visit Support or send us a request.
Can I try the training first?
Yes. Levels 1 and 2 are free to try without an account. Sign in to save completion and receive a certificate. Company plans include access to all ten levels and manager tools. Schools and companies can also request a free 30 day pilot.
Can I subscribe just for myself?
Yes. The Individual plan is $299 per year for one person: all ten levels, your own training workspace, certificates and a printable training record. It renews yearly until you cancel, and company manager tools are not included.
Do managers need a seat?
Yes. Department Heads and Supervisors use seats and can take the training themselves. Department Heads see the organization; Supervisors see the groups assigned to them.
What does active training time mean?
It counts activity reported while a lesson is open and being used, excluding detected idle time. Stage and time reporting are training indicators, not a measure of real-world competence or employee productivity.
Does a certificate qualify someone to work on equipment?
A certificate records completion of a Controls Trainer lesson. Workplace authorization, equipment-specific instruction and practical assessment remain with the employer. Read our Standards & Compliance page.
How long is a certificate valid?
Certificates of completion are valid for 12 months from the date you pass the level; pass it again to renew. With a paid subscription or a company plan, certificates for Levels 3–10 also need that subscription to be active.
Do I need a physical PLC or special software?
The simulations run in a web browser. A desktop or laptop is recommended for detailed wiring and editor exercises.
