Eplan Education for Classrooms

Expert knowledge meets practical engineering

How your teaching can benefit from Eplan Education

Paperless manufacturing, digital maintenance, augmented reality – manufacturing industries are driving the digital transformation. These industries need highly qualified specialists who understand and can use new technologies, and this naturally also includes engineering. Lay the foundations for this with Eplan Education and combine technical knowledge with practical, hands-on applications in your teaching.

✓ Eplan Education brings fun into classrooms
Create practical electrical engineering designs with your students. Prepare schematics according to industrial standards and develop digital twins as the foundation for panel building and control cabinet manufacturing. Eplan Education fosters interactive learning and makes abstract theories tangible.

✓ Eplan Education is compelling
Choose the leading software for mechanical engineering, plant-systems engineering, panel building and control cabinet engineering. This will ensure your graduates are in the pole position when looking for a job. The more successful you are at getting your students onto the job market, the more attractive your educational institution is for subsequent classes.

✓ Eplan Education inspires students
Motivate your classes with certification opportunities and train your students to become an Eplan Certified Student. With this certificate in their pocket, your graduates will enter their professional lives with even more self-confidence.

What educators say about Eplan Education

"Eplan Education creates win-win situations: The students enjoy working with Eplan. We teachers enjoy the interaction. And the companies where our graduates start working after graduation benefit from 'complete' Eplan users."

Peter van der Linden

Lecturer in engineering in middle management at Da Vinci College in Dordrecht, the Netherlands

“Eplan Education comprises projects that teach our students how Eplan works. For example, by creating the circuit diagram for a car wash or a grinding machine.”

Torsten Tjarks

Teacher of Electrical Engineering/Mechatronics at the Berufsbildende Schulen II Emden vocational school

"Siemens, Husky Technologies, ATS Corporation - our graduates of today are their employees of tomorrow. That motivates me to give them the best product on the market by teaching them Eplan. It prepares them to work for these great companies."

Goran Tesanovic

Professor and Program Coordinator at the Seneca Polytechnic in Toronto, Canada

“Students learn best when they can be active themselves. When they use Eplan, they not only learn how to use the software, but also gain a better understanding of the course material through the projects.”

Stefan Reindl

Subject supervisor for electrical engineering at the Altötting technical colleges, Germany

"More and more companies in North America are using Eplan for engineering. Eplan Education offers our students the great advantage of gaining practical experience with the software and with electrical design during their studies and obtaining certification."

Seyed Saeed Mortazavian

Lecturer in electrical design at the Seneca Polytechnic in Toronto, Canada

"We need action-oriented projects in order to successfully teach practical skills. It makes sense to use the hardware and software that is used in the training companies, such as Eplan Electric P8 for circuit diagram creation."

Stefan Manemann

Head of Department at BBS II in Wolfsburg, Germany

Training & course materials

Become skilled in the Eplan Platform. As an instructor, you receive a free training course from our Eplan Training Academy. This is a five-day basic training course during which you will become familiar with how the system works using practice-oriented and end-to-end project design tasks. Our course materials are designed so that you can teach them within one semester. Use our handbook to prepare your lessons.

Beyond this, you also receive access to free eLearning courses for self-study. These go into greater detail than the online tutorials for students. This means you are always one step ahead of your students and have exclusive material for your courses.

We offer our online tutorials in fourteen languages and in accordance with two industrial standards (IEC and NFPA).
