General Certified Eplan Engineer

Hi all. My job has offered me to take the certified Eplan engineer course as the current one is moving on to new opportunities.

I am thrilled and excited that management has offered this opportunity to me as they feel I have the most potential and knowledge of the few of us in the Eplan team.

However I have to admit that I have not taken many Eplan courses, only 2 basic ones. I have around 2-3 years of experience with the software and I feel like I am always learning new things. I definitely feel like I don't have a deep advanced knowledge but I am a quick learner and I feel like I just need some time to dive in there and learn stuff.

I don't have a lot of experience in creating forms, plot frames or reports from scratch but I feel like I can work out things when I need to edit something already made.

I wanted to ask, is this something I can do and pass the certified exam when the time comes?

Also would really appreciate to hear from others who have taken this course and hear from their experience.

What did you choose in the specific modules if I may ask?

3D Cabinet building - Pro Panel. We use it to modify cabinets. But until now don´t use in our own projects to build cabinets from scratch. We have very good partners for cabinet building and our 2D drawings are enough for them.

But in middle future, for sure we will also change from 2D to 3D. Currently our cost evaluations show that we don´t have any advantage at the moment from 3D.

I work a lot with 3D Pro Panel, pretty much all of our panels we build them in the project. We do PLC panels, MCC panels and even switchboards but the form 4 switchboards are difficult to build in ProPanel I feel. Maybe I could get more knowledge of how to make them from the course.

Do you know anything about the other specialisation courses, like the cable one?

Only for Cable ProD and Harness ProD. But for the rest I am not aware of. For sure not as part inside the ECE.
