The Department of Electrical Systems at Kanto Polytechnic College offers education and training in programmable logic controller (PLC) control. The authors aim to establish a consistent four-year PLC control training program. However, PLC control training harbors many problems. For example, the devices are generally expensive, there are only a limited number of devices available, and the content of education varies with each instructor. Therefore, we examined the current problems and sorted out the issues. In this paper, we discuss how these problems can be resolved by reorganizing the curriculum structure and sharing the teaching materials. This will enable a more systematic administration of the curriculum for PLC control, which can be expected to make the education and training program more effective.
