Bridge the skills gap and increase employability through certification.
Give your students a competitive edge with industry-recognized certifications while gaining access to structured curriculum, hands-on training resources, and professional development to enhance your teaching.
The Festo Industry Certification Program (FICP), developed with NC3, delivers multi-level, hands-on training in electrical technology, factory automation, robotics, mechatronics, Industry 4.0, and more.
Discover the FICP programAn increasing number of professionals across various industries play a critical role in ensuring electrical systems and technologies operate correctly. But expanding electrical technology training to a growing number of students requires continuously updating content, creating engaging hands-on learning experiences and addressing different skill levels and career goals.
What if there was a way to simplify these challenges?
The Electrical Technology Curriculum is a structured yet flexible training framework that helps teachers develop workforce-ready electrical skills. It covers the key skills required for installation, maintenance, troubleshooting and repair tasks.
Pre-made learning paths in the Festo LX Portal provide a clear route from knowledge to practical expertise using real-world learning experiences.
The curriculum is organized into modular learning paths that help teachers build, expand and customize training in electrical technology.
Grouped by topic and skill level, these paths combine digital courses, videos, hands-on training, user manuals and other learning resources into structured learning journeys that develop specific skills step by step:
1. Start with foundational electrical skills.
2. Develop practical technical skills.
3. Add advanced electrical topics.
4. Expand into specialized application areas.
Use the paths as provided or adapt them to your students, program requirements, and training objectives.
Learning path: Industrial Wiring
Learning path: Electrical Machines
Learning path: Electrical Machines – EU
eLab course: Frequency converters – EU
Learning path: Power Factor Correction
Learning path: Fundamentals of Power Systems
Learning path: Smart Grid – Protection and Control Mechanisms
Learning path: Advanced Transmission and Distribution Systems
The benefits of the curriculum extend to both educators and learners, enabling structured, industry-relevant training and preparing students for success in modern electrical careers.
Most learning paths incorporate hands-on experiments to connect theory with practice, boost problem-solving skills and build confidence – essential for proficiency and success in industry.
Below are some of the most relevant learning systems for the electrical engineering curriculum. However, many more options are available depending on the paths and courses you choose. Relevant systems are listed at the beginning of each Festo LX course.
