Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the SIMATIC - Motion Control in the TIA Portal (TIA-MC) training course

Is the certification exam included in the SIMATIC - Motion Control in the TIA Portal (TIA-MC) course, and what is the exam fee if separate?
The certification exam is not included in the course fee and must be purchased separately for 375 EUR. Siemens requires candidates to pass the official exam to earn the Siemens Certified Programmer with TIA Portal credential. The exam assesses skills in motion control, PLC programming, and TIA Portal integration, and can be scheduled independently through authorized testing centers or online proctoring platforms.
What training formats does Koenig Solutions offer for the TIA-MC course, and is it Guaranteed-to-Run?
Koenig offers live online instructor-led, 1-on-1, classroom, and self-paced Flexi formats for the TIA-MC course, all Guaranteed-to-Run (GTR). This ensures the session proceeds regardless of enrollment numbers, providing reliable scheduling. Public batches and private training options are available globally, with expert Siemens-certified instructors delivering the 40-hour curriculum in real time or on-demand.
How long is lab access provided, and what type of environment is used for hands-on practice in the TIA-MC course?
Koenig provides 30 days of cloud-based lab access using a virtual environment preloaded with TIA Portal software, SIMATIC S7-1500 PLC emulators, and Profinet I/O configurations. This sandbox allows remote access via browser, enabling students to configure hardware, program motion functions, and troubleshoot systems without local installations, ensuring practical mastery of motion control applications in real-world industrial scenarios.
What is Koenig's rescheduling and cancellation policy for the TIA-MC course?
Koenig allows free rescheduling with 10 business days' notice; changes within 10 days incur a 50% fee. Cancellations less than 10 days before the start date are charged 50%, while no-shows are charged 100%. One rescheduling is permitted per enrollment, and substitutions are allowed up to the start date without penalty, backed by the Koenig Happiness Guarantee.
What is the format, duration, number of questions, and passing score for the TIA-MC certification exam?
The Siemens Certified Programmer with TIA Portal exam includes multiple-choice questions, lab simulations, and case studies, lasting approximately 3 hours under AI proctoring. While exact question count varies, the passing score is 68%, consistent with Siemens Xcelerator Academy standards. The exam evaluates motion control programming, hardware configuration, and diagnostics within the TIA Portal environment using real-world automation scenarios.
How long is the TIA-MC certification valid, and what is the renewal process and cost?
The Siemens TIA-MC certification is valid for 3 years from the date of issuance. Renewal requires retaking the same 375 EUR certification exam to validate updated knowledge of TIA Portal and motion control systems. There is no grace period, and expired certifications require full re-examination, ensuring professionals maintain current expertise aligned with Siemens' latest industrial automation standards.
What post-training support does Koenig provide after completing the TIA-MC course?
Koenig provides 30 days of post-training support including session recordings, lab access, and email assistance from instructors. Learners also receive exam guidance, revision sessions, and access to self-assessment tools. For select courses, 6 hours of trainer consultation are included, ensuring graduates can confidently apply motion control skills in real-world automation projects and prepare effectively for certification.
What are the prerequisites or prior experience needed to take the TIA-MC course?
Learners should have foundational knowledge of PLC programming, TIA Portal basics, and industrial automation concepts before enrolling in the TIA-MC course. Prior completion of TIA-PRO1 or equivalent experience with SIMATIC S7-1200/1500 PLCs is strongly recommended. Familiarity with motion control principles and PROFINET communication enhances understanding of advanced topics covered in the 40-hour intermediate-level curriculum.
What career impact and salary increase can one expect after completing the TIA-MC course and certification?
Graduates of the TIA-MC course report an average salary increase of 18–25%, with roles such as automation engineer, control systems specialist, and commissioning technician earning $85,000–$110,000 annually in the U.S. The certification validates expertise in motion control and TIA Portal, enhancing employability in manufacturing, robotics, and Industry 4.0-driven industries where Siemens automation is widely deployed.
How does Koenig's TIA-MC training compare to self-study in terms of effectiveness and certification success rate?
Koenig's instructor-led TIA-MC training offers structured learning, hands-on labs, and expert mentorship, significantly improving certification success rates over self-study. With 30-day lab access, real-time troubleshooting, and Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, learners gain practical experience that self-paced study lacks. Koenig's alignment with official SITRAIN curriculum ensures comprehensive coverage of exam objectives, accelerating professional readiness.
