Course Overview

The TIA Portal Programming Part 3 — Siemens Certified Programmer (TIA-PRO3) is an advanced-level course by Siemens designed for automation engineers, PLC programmers, and control system designers who aim to master complex programming techniques within the Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) Portal environment. This course prepares participants for the Siemens Certified Programmer with TIA Portal (TIA-PRO-EX) certification exam, validating expertise in advanced S7 PLC programming. Targeted at professionals who have completed TIA-PRO1 and TIA-PRO2, it builds proficiency in reusable code structures, indirect addressing, and integrated diagnostics. With over 80% of industrial automation firms in Europe adopting Siemens TIA Portal for engineering workflows, this certification is increasingly required by employers seeking skilled automation specialists.

Participants work extensively with key Siemens technologies including SIMATIC S7-1500 PLCs, TIA Portal V18, SIMATIC WinCC HMI, PROFINET IO, and Industrial Ethernet communication protocols. The hands-on lab environment simulates real-world automation systems where students configure decentralized periphery, create user-defined function blocks with multi-instance capabilities, and implement error handling mechanisms using structured exception reporting. A core project involves building a scalable machine control program that integrates recipe management via SIMATIC HMI, axis positioning using Technology Objects, and CPU-to-CPU communication over Industrial Ethernet. These labs are conducted in a fully equipped virtual TIA Portal workspace, allowing learners to deploy, test, and troubleshoot complete automation solutions under realistic conditions.

By completing the TIA Portal Programming Part 3 — Siemens Certified Programmer (TIA-PRO3), professionals gain direct preparation for the globally recognized Siemens Certified Programmer - SIMATIC S7 with TIA Portal credential, which is aligned with DIN EN ISO 9001 standards for technical competence. Certified programmers report average salary increases of 20–30%, with mid-level automation engineers earning €65,000–€80,000 annually in Germany and similar markets. Koenig Solutions enhances this path with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official Siemens courseware, and optional 1-on-1 mentoring to ensure exam readiness. Graduates emerge with the advanced skills needed to design modular, maintainable automation architectures—positioning them for roles such as Senior PLC Developer, Automation Architect, or Systems Integration Lead in smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0 environments.
