ITRC is offering new/updated Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) short courses focused on irrigation districts, and more specifically SCADA technicians. In general, SCADA technicians are responsible for operating and maintaining existing SCADA systems as well as supporting SCADA expansion projects. These classes are intended to provide helpful technical information and introduce important skills for new SCADA technicians as well as provide a refresher for experienced SCADA-related staff. Over half of the material is presented in hands-on labs.
Eligibility
This class is sponsored by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, California-Great Basin Region. Priority registration is given to staff members of CVP districts within the California-Great Basin Region. Other participants will be permitted only as space allows. Please contact our office to be placed on a waitlist.
