ISA Training and Education Programs for July and August

This education & training roundup was compiled by Joel Don, ISA's social media community manager.

During four consecutive weeks in July, ISA will be offering a series of basic-to-advanced, hands-on and highly-intensive industrial data communications and cybersecurity training courses. Be prepared to act not react, with ISA’s new System Wide Awareness Training (S.W.A.T.) Camp, intensive training for protecting control systems from cyberattack.

Sponsored by the ISA Denver Section, this technical training event includes ISA’s highly experienced subject-matter experts teaching a series of iSA's most popular and world-class technician, automation engineering, safety, and security courses.
