“A new facility was due to be constructed so our team needed to be sufficiently skilled with Siemens S7 PLC maintenance, ready to hit the ground running. Opensoft have a proven track record with other power stations so we were confident in their abilities.”
The courses we chose started from the fundamentals of PLC’s through to S7 300’s and 400’s. We were able to split the courses into four and manage them round our schedule. The tutor was brilliant. A really nice chap who evidently knew his stuff.
In future we will certainly bear Opensoft in mind for further engineering work and commissioning.”

“CSWDC approached Opensoft to deliver a series of Allen-Bradley PLC training courses for our first line electrical maintenance team.We were particularly attracted by their maintenance course, which really did deliver in applying practically, troubleshooting and fault finding training, all skills which my tea need to effectively solve PLC faults on plant.
The courses delivered onsite, were adapted to our applications and have provided my team with the confidence they need to get on line and diagnose faults.”
CSWDC
“I put in place a series of training courses to improve the skills and confidence of our engineering technicians. The ability to make application changes and diagnose plant operational issues were our main objectives from the training.
Opensoft provided a flexible approach to delivering the training which was related solely to our application on site. This approach really helped my team accelerate their learning.
Thank you to all involved.”

“The SCADA Developer Course we did with Opensoft Systems was very informative and focused on clear objectives. The course was logically sequenced and we felt that we gained valuable knowledge in the fields where we most required training. Our trainer provided an excellent course concept and also provided us with some valuable consultancy for our company after the course was completed. We look forward to working with Opensoft Systems again on future projects.”
Jaguar Land Rover
“Opensoft’s training was targeted to improve our engineers confidence in getting on line to our PLC’s and being able to diagnose and fault find quickly. This is especially important to us in a downtime situation.Our control systems comprise of Control Logix PLC’s with DeviceNet and ControlNet communications to the plant I/O.
Rather than take three separate training courses, Opensoft integrated our communication types into the standard PLC course to give our engineers an understanding of how the PLC communicates across these networks, a vital component of the training. I would recommend Opensoft Systems training to anyone considering a practical PLC course.”
Norbord Europe Ltd

Ferrybridge Multifuel
Lead Systems Engineer
“H+H UK Ltd are new customers of Opensoft Systems. We have three Aircrete block factories, one based in Kent and two in Yorkshire. It was the Pollington factory where the training took place.
We used Opensoft Systems to provide and deliver a training course on ‘Basic Digital Electronics & Introduction to PLCs’ The course was very informative and all staff who attended found it useful, especially the mechanical technicians. Our feedback on the day was very positive as all participants enjoyed the course and thought the content was aimed at the right level for their skill set. The group on the course were a mixture, some new to this area, whilst others were more seasoned.Unanimously, though, the response was that everyone had gained from the course.
Whilst we don’t have the need to use Opensoft Systems regularly, we would have no concern recommending them, both as a company and the course content provided.”
H+H UK Ltd
Lead Controls Engineer
“I originally approached Opensoft Systems as we were looking for a training partner to upskill engineers across our group and they were highly recommended to me by a colleague who had previously attended one of their courses.
The tutor was able to accurately cover the basics, right through to intermediate maintenance skill level, with a friendly and approachable manner.
One engineer commented that this was the most comprehensive and professional course they have ever taken. Due to the success, we will be working with Opensoft at our other sites nationwide for further training.”
BSW Timber
Group Training Manager
“Opensoft delivered their maintenance-based Siemens PCS7 Course for our team of electrical technicians, on site here at Flint.
We chose Opensoft’s course due to the practical hands-on approach provided by their maintenance training.
The course focused on the skills required to undertake troubleshooting and fault finding more effectively and has been an asset in helping to grow the confidence of our engineers, as they have learnt some valuable techniques.
Many thanks to the instructor whose experience was evident, but with a relaxed style which enabled our guys to feel comfortable whilst undertaking the practical exercises.”
Essity Ltd

“Opensoft Systems contacted me a few weeks after our site had experienced a small scale PLC fail. Opensoft’s adapted and flexible Siemens S7 training using our own PLC code as the basis for the training seemed to be an ideal fit for our needs and requirements.Opensoft’s Client Delivery Manager met with us to review our requirements and a personalised and adapted training course was developed to suit our own needs and requirements.Post course feedback from our own engineers was encouraging and we will be working with Opensoft again in the not too distant future.MC said:”this was a good one compared to others”andCC said“previously trained by Siemens but this course was far better”
DS Smith
Engineering Manager
“We utilised Opensoft to provide a series of maintenance based training courses covering our Rockwell Logix 5000 PLC programme. Our aim was to give our engineers more confidence and expertise when responding to plant faults.The course objectives were clearly defined and the pace of the course was suited to the level of our engineers.The course tutor provided a friendly approach, with a high level of expertise. I would highly recommend Opensoft’s maintenance training modules to other companies seeking to increase their maintenance crews confidence and PLC fault finding expertise”
