    Im currently employed as a Manufacturing Engineer and doing OK for myself. Im employed in the biomedical field.

    I would like to expand my skills and would like to get into PLC programming, which would open the gateway for me to getting employed as a software engineer or even in the pharma field as an automation engineer.

    What courses are there that would give me this skill ?

    I would hope to study in the evening time.

    Computer Science in Maynooth has a PLC module. I don't know whether it's available via any evening courses, but it wouldn't hurt to enquire.
