Primarily focused on hands on learning, the blue level is all about automated systems skills. Providing 96 labs hours and 38 class hours, this level is more advanced and includes two certification levels: Automation Systems and Robotics.

Also through the blue level, students utilize all the knowledge they have gained from the previous levels. They will use the FMS and Process Trainer that are used with the Allen Bradley PLCs and VFDs. This is the final project that students complete to show what they have learned while going through JJCL’s Industrial Manufacturing program.
