Technicians, electricians and engineers who studied with FM4 share their experience.
I bought all of Professor Filippo's courses because, without a doubt, his teaching is the best I have ever seen. If you are unsure, you can be certain you will not find more complete and easier-to-follow content than this.
Tiago TeodoroIndustrial Automation Technician
A complete, high-quality platform. The course is easy to follow, makes you want to keep learning and is never boring, plus there are topics available when you need help.
Rafael LucheriniIndustrial Instrumentation Technician
It made a real difference in my professional life, because it helps me every day in the field I work in.
Gleison RibeiroElectrotechnical Technician
The course positively surprised me. I thought it would only cover programming itself, but the content went much further: electrical wiring, troubleshooting tips and how to structure projects, plus the main topic, Ladder programming. It was well worth the investment.
Jefferson MotaPLC and HMI Programmer
I highly recommend this course bundle: the courses complement each other and are very easy to follow. It is truly a course for learning, with no filler. By dedicating myself to the lessons I really learned, and today I can program, which I could not do after other courses!
