Emile Ackbarali
I have been working in the fields of Software Development, Software Systems Integration and Process Automation since 1996. In 2003, I stepped out on my own and started working for myself providing software development and systems integration services to small and medium businesses.
Teaching has always been a passion for me. I have taught at the tertiary level for many years on the subjects of programming, control systems as well as systems integration. In the last few years I found myself incorporating more and more videos into the curriculum with amazing results.
When I heard of uDemy I just could not help but sign up. With teaching in a classroom, you can reach only so many students, but with uDemy you can reach the world! I plan to publish and promote as many courses as I possibly can on the uDemy platform.

This course deserves only two words "TOP CLASS". The narration in all the lectures is clear and fantastic. Anybody with no prior knowledge of OPC can easily understand and learn it. Infact, the knowledge gained from this course can be used to teach other automation engineers on the job. Thank you Emile for creating such a course.
By Hans Scholen on 12/22/2020
Finally after finishing the course I am quite satisfied about the content I could learn. The course is a basic overview and good for that and to help yourself starting to explore OPC. I do deduct 1 Star because I believe the course should be "maintained" and the last chapter OPC-UA should get more room/ content. Or why don't you create a course with OPC-UA as the only topic?
By Zain Jauhari on 11/22/2020
the instructor knows what's his doing and that shows that he has a lot of experience in the field of electrical and automation.
By Stephen Murphy on 11/8/2020

I try to understand and looks new to me.
By Craig on 9/6/2020
Very well put together, information was given in a easy to understand format.
Gave plenty of resources to practices on your own.
By KAI HONG LAM on 9/4/2020
very clear and easy to follow. there is no missing step of any procedures. but I expect some actual usage of the captured data of the PLC from Matrikon explore or by other software.
By Jim Bosire Nyachieo on 9/1/2020
It is a good course for the starters in OPC.
By Ruben Oliva Ramos on 8/23/2020
