Any international certified courses offered for Instrumentation Engineers?
Hi,The main offered for instrumentation engineers are wide and knowledgeable. The courses includes LabView, PLC and SCADA, Oil field training, safety engineering and so on.In LabView, National instruments provide->Certified LabView associate developer->Certified LabView Developer->Certified LabView Architectexam to excellence in labview, once you are familiar with the labview and it’s tools you are crack the these exams. NI itself offers training for students at different centres around the globe. Do check their courses available and excel in virtual instrumentation.Personally I prefer labview to be learnt by any interested instrumentation people to play with virtual instruments. Once you enter here, you’ll feel the difference.2. Next thing is PLC and SCADA, the most preferred course on instrumentation, they are thought at each corners of the country, hence many people had learnt till date. So, better be unique and avoid this for some time (just like engineering).3. Special training programmes are thought by different companies based on their requirement, So find the company you are interested and check courses offered them. check for Emerson, Cummins, Robert Bosch…4. Oil industries are also great need for professionals. Nowadays, specially designed courses are available for people who are interested to work in oil-rigs and fields.5. Safety engineering is the other developing courses, as the every company is need for safety measures, basically the fire safety courses are highly thought. Chemical safety is another area used in processing industries.Check on the various applications of instrumentation engineering and learn the key elements in the fields and catch up with world,Thank you:)

In instrumentation, does an automation engineer certification from the ISA give value to our resume in the industry?
No organization is crazy about certifications however it definitely does add value to your credentials. About ISA, if you have experience in the relevant field and do CAP-ISA certifications at early stage, it will definitely increase your chances in getting better opportunities moreover do not restrict yourself to only isa certification, explore more. Furthermore, caring less about the resume and more about my technical skills, I am soon going to do this certification as well.I'd be interested in knowing about your firm and location. Good Luck.
