NodeX Opens Registration for Cohort 2 of Industrial Automation Masterclass

Following the successful completion of its first cohort, NodeX has opened registration for Cohort 2 of its practical, four-week Industrial Automation Masterclass, running from September 14 to October 17, 2026.

The program is designed for engineering students, graduates, technicians, and professionals looking to move beyond classroom theory and build hands-on, industry-relevant automation skills. Sessions run daily from 14:00 to 16:30 in a blended format, combining online instruction with physical, in-person training.

Four Weeks, From Fundamentals to a Full Project

The masterclass is structured around a progressive, four-week curriculum. Week one covers industrial electricity, electronics, and automation networking fundamentals. Week two moves into PLC programming, covering ladder logic, timers, counters, and simulation using Factory I/O. Week three focuses on HMI and SCADA design and configuration, including visualization, alarms, and system security using TIA Portal and WinCC Unified.

The program closes in week four with a complete industrial automation project, where participants apply everything learned to a real end-to-end system, including testing, commissioning, and project presentation.

Learn. Practice. Apply. Master. Throughout the program, participants work with industry-standard tools including TIA Portal V17, NetToPLC, Factory I/O, and WinCC Unified, gaining real-world skills through simulations and live projects rather than theory alone.

Cost and How to Register

The training fee is set at 100,000 Rwandan francs for the full four-week program. Seats are limited, and interested applicants can register by calling or messaging +250 789 479 682 on WhatsApp, or by emailing isbyiringiroi@gmail.com or info@nodex.rw.

With Cohort 1 already completed, NodeX is positioning this second round as an opportunity for a new group of learners to gain practical automation expertise increasingly in demand as industries across Rwanda continue to modernize their operations.
