WebCTRL® for Facility Operators

Course Overview

Designed for the WebCTRL system owners/operators that want to understand and use the full set of tools provided with all WebCTRL Systems. In addition to the WebCTRL Essentials, this course also covers many of the same skills and techniques taught in the Field Technician: I course, such as installing, basic commissioning, and troubleshooting a WebCTRL system. Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to apply these skills, as well as edit a WebCTRL system utilizing EIKON, SiteBuilder, ViewBuilder, and WebCTRL. This course provides a complete day of real-life troubleshooting in a WebCTRL system. Owners/Operators should not be discouraged by not fully completing the troubleshooting day as all errors will be discussed by the end of the course.

Course Formats

Traditional Classroom

A live instructor will lead up to 12 students (course dependent) in hands-on exercises with minimal lecture in between. Using the situated learning techniques of the Kirkpatrick Model, this methodology fosters a collaborative learning environment

Instructor-Led eLearning

A live instructor will lead students using video conferencing and remote access software. The student will have remote access to a training station to complete hands-on tasks, giving them a virtual classroom experience from many miles away. This course is hosted in the same 2-day timeframe and manner as the traditional classroom format.

Video-Led Virtual

The video-led virtual training allows the student to take up to 9 business days to complete the equivalent of a 1-3-day, instructor-led course. Using video tutorials as the instructor, students will execute the workbook tasks and upload assignments using the Automated Logic Training Portal, asking questions through the discussion board where a dedicated instructor will facilitate. This format also offers “instructor hours” where students have live contact with a certified instructor and other registered students.
