# [Advanced Industrial Automation | Skills Lab](https://gotosage.com/solutions/training-upskilling/microcredentials/advanced-industrial-automation)

 Written by [Skills Lab](https://gotosage.com/solutions/training-upskilling/microcredentials/author/skills-lab) | Feb 24, 2025 10:45:35 PM

This course looks at using the other three programming languages, Sequential Function Chart (SFC), Function Block Diagram (FB) and Structured Text (ST).

It incorporates a number of short exercises including messaging, produced and consumed tags. The integration project involves programming and commissioning a Skills Lab training platform to complete a set scope of work using a SFC and the native ST inside of the chart itself.

It is recommended for:

- Entry-level engineers
- Technicians
- Tradespeople
- Apprentices and maintenance teams
- Operators

Participants should have a hands-on understanding of the PLC in which they are looking to upskill.

*We recommend that participants complete the [Intermediate Industrial Automation course](https://gotosage.com/microcredentials/intermediate-industrial-automation) before enrolling in this course.*
