Course Overview

The TIA Portal Advance Siemens PLC Programming course by Siemens is designed for automation engineers, control system programmers, and industrial maintenance technicians seeking mastery in advanced PLC programming using the TIA Portal environment. This training prepares candidates for the Siemens Certified Programmer with TIA Portal (TIA-PRO-EX) certification exam, which validates expertise in programming SIMATIC S7-1500 PLCs, configuring decentralized I/O, and integrating HMI systems. Target roles include PLC Programmer, Automation Engineer, and Control Systems Specialist—positions in high demand across manufacturing, automotive, and energy sectors. With over 80% of industrial automation projects in Europe utilizing Siemens TIA Portal, certified professionals are essential for companies aiming to meet DIN EN ISO 9001 standards and achieve operational efficiency.

This course delivers hands-on experience with core Siemens technologies including SIMATIC S7-1500 PLCs, ET200SP distributed I/O, SIMATIC WinCC machine-level visualization, PROFINET industrial communication, SINAMICS G120 drives, and the TIA Portal engineering framework. Students work in a simulated lab environment using PLCSIM Advanced and Factory IO to build real-world automation systems, such as conveyor control networks with integrated drive logic and HMI monitoring. A key project involves creating a fully functional control architecture where students configure hardware, program logic using structured text and ladder logic, commission PROFINET devices, and integrate safety functions—all following Siemens best practices for code structure, tag naming, and diagnostics. The lab environment mirrors actual production setups, ensuring practical readiness for on-site deployment.

Upon completion, participants are fully prepared for the Siemens Certified Programmer with TIA Portal certification, recognized globally and required for Siemens Solution Partner status. Certified professionals command competitive salaries, with mid-level automation engineers earning between €45,000 and €65,000 annually in Europe, and specialists in high-demand sectors reaching over €90,000. Koenig Solutions enhances this path with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official Siemens courseware, and optional 1-on-1 mentoring to ensure exam success. Graduates gain not only technical mastery but also career mobility into senior engineering, project leadership, or consultancy roles within the rapidly expanding industrial automation landscape.
