About the College of Automation

Mission Controls Automation is the parent company for the College of Automation. The college was established in 2000 to meet the training needs of customers in plants with which we do business. The College has quickly grown due to the large demand in the manufacturing community for employee training.

The College of Automation conducts classes at its Costa Mesa headquarters as well as onsite at your plant location. Classes from our catalog cover many areas of Mission Controls expertise. Custom training courses can be designed around your plant’s unique training needs to allow for specific software or equipment to be utilized during the training time.

The Importance of Good Operator Training

The subject of training is often a painful one for plant and departmental managers. Figuring out exactly what subject matter workers need to learn, versus what they already know, is a procedure most managers are not prepared to undertake. Workers must be taken off their shift — or paid overtime — to take training. Finding training that will really improve job performance is difficult; finding training that is specific to the plant’s own processes and operations can be impossible. And when the training is over, knowing whether it was effective or not is problematic.

College of Automation has solved each of those training difficulties. Courses are taught at our Costa Mesa, California, headquarters, or in your plant. On-site training of your employees, near their work sites, is encouraged.
