Learn on the panels engineers actually wire
Our labs at 3 Oluyole Way, New Bodija, Ibadan hold Siemens and Allen Bradley PLCs, drives, HMIs and working process rigs. Every public programme is taught here, and company groups can also be trained on their own site.

The route a tour takes
Walk the floor with us
Four stops, in the order you would see them on a visit. Nothing here is staged: these are the rooms and rigs our students use every week.
-
01
Reception
Every visit starts here. The Academy office answers questions about programmes, start dates and fees, and walks you through to the labs.
- Programme and fee questions
- IT/SIWES acceptance letters
- Company training enquiries
-
02
Training room and panel wall
Theory at the long table, with the panel wall of PLCs, drives and HMIs along the side. A lesson on 4 to 20 mA signals moves from the screen to real hardware in the same room.
- Lectures and software sessions
- Panel wall of PLCs, drives and HMIs
- Bring a laptop for most courses
-
03
Practical bays
Where most of the course hours go. Students wire, program and fault-find on working rigs, not simulations.
- Pump and tank process rig with a PowerFlex drive panel
- Water tank and solenoid valve rig
- Smart home trainer: Sonoff, Home Assistant, CCTV
- Panel workshop: enclosures, DIN rail, terminals
-
04
SCADA and HMI workstations
Licensed Siemens WinCC Professional and Rockwell FactoryTalk View. Students build screens, alarms and trends against a running PLC, then present them on the big screen.
