The class you\u2019re eyeing conflicts with your work schedule, or the free online SCADA training you find is only free for the most basic lessons. But it really shouldn\u2019t be this hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here at Inductive Automation, we\u2019re committed to empowering others through the free sharing of knowledge, and one major way we accomplish that is with <a href=\"https:\/\/inductiveuniversity.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Inductive University<\/a>. Inductive University (IU) is a trusted online training platform that\u2019s helped engineers across the globe advance their SCADA skills for over a decade. As Will Baker, SCADA Manager at Texas Automation Systems, describes it, \u201cInductive University is just extremely helpful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IU offers SCADA training video courses that are 100% free, created by experts, and viewable on-demand. Courses range from basic fundamental topics to more advanced topics like scripting, customizing reports, and setting up alarm notification pipelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply put, IU is the best free way to learn SCADA software out there today, because it solves all of the biggest training pain points. Let\u2019s dive into how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"149\" src=\"https:\/\/www.controleng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-2-1024x149.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-131350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.controleng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-2-1024x149.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.controleng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-2-300x44.png 300w, https:\/\/www.controleng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-2-768x112.png 768w, https:\/\/www.controleng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-2.png 1294w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pain Point 1: Busy Schedules<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For today\u2019s engineer, trying to fit a SCADA software training class onto your calendar can be a big challenge, sometimes meaning you have to give up something important to you (like going to your kid\u2019s recital) in order to make it happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But with Inductive University, you get the ultimate flexibility of taking on-demand video courses whenever and wherever you like. This flexibility is vital, so you don\u2019t have to sacrifice too much personal time to develop yourself professionally. And its self-guided nature means you can take it at your own pace, so if you have the time you can knock out the training quicker, or spread it out and just accomplish a little every week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, since it\u2019s virtual, you don\u2019t have to spend time commuting, so you get more time to actually learn. And you can go back and brush up on subjects whenever you need a refresher, meaning you\u2019ll perpetually be at the top of your game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/inductiveautomation.com\/blog\/top-5-scada-training-pain-points-solved?utm_medium=digital&amp;utm_source=control-engineering-content-synd&amp;utm_campaign=2025-07-01-ce-cs-gm&amp;AdvertisingTouch=ce-cs-07-2025&amp;Lead_Source=ce-cs-07-2025\">Read more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sponsored content by Inductive Automation<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Build Screens Faster In Ignition We know how frustrating it can be when you want to level up your SCADA skills, only to be met with endless roadblocks.
