SCADA Analyst, LOOP LLC

“The instructor possesses a wealth of knowledge and presents it in an engaging way. She fosters an interactive environment, encouraging active participation from everyone.”

SCADA Manager, United Refining Co.

“I recently transitioned from a career in the Medical/Hospital technology sector with little to no background knowledge in SCADA systems for the Oil & Natural Gas industry.  I gained a lot of functional knowledge from this fundamentals course.  I walked away from this course with the basic knowledge needed to improve my overall understanding of SCADA systems within the ONG sector.”

IT Security Analyst, Antero Resources Corporation

“No matter where you are with your knowledge in SCADA, this is a great course to take! Whether you have little or immense knowledge on the topic of SCADA, this course helps you better grasp the fundamentals of SCADA that you may have forgotten or didn't know beforehand.” 

Gas System Analyst, We Energies

“Extremely knowledgeable and great speaker. I will highly recommend to my coworkers.”

IT Systems Administrator, MarkWest Energy Partners

“Great for those with minimal or no exposure to SCADA.”

Gas Services Field Rep III, Long Beach Energy Resources

“This was a good class breaking SCADA down to the basics and then taking it to higher levels.”

Superintendent of Operations, Long Beach Energy Resources

This 1.5-day course provides a comprehensive introduction to the structure, function, and evolution of SCADA systems used in modern energy operations. Participants will explore how SCADA technologies have developed over time, the distinctions between system types, and how key hardware components integrate for efficient monitoring and control.

Through detailed instruction, attendees will trace data flow from field devices through RTUs and front-end processors to the control room, examining how telemetry points are collected, processed, and displayed in dynamic user interfaces. The course also covers alarm processing, supervisory control logic, and database integration for real-time operational insight.

Participants will review essential data management practices, including establishing data standards, maintaining templates and point lists, performing point-to-point testing, and ensuring quality assurance systems operate independently from production environments.

Join this course to strengthen your foundation in SCADA system design, operation, and data integrity—register today to secure your spot!
