FAQs

Questions before you start?

Do I need a real PLC?

MicroWin has no built-in PLC simulator, and the lessons are recorded on a real S7-200. A PLC is recommended to practise hands-on, but you can follow every lesson on video.

Will I get instructor support?

Yes. Every lesson has a comment section for your questions. If a query cannot be resolved there, Rajvir offers free screen-sharing sessions.

Can I learn on my phone?

Yes. Use the Teachable app on Android or iOS, sign in with your account and save videos for offline access.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes. You receive a unique completion certificate when you finish the course.

What is the refund policy?

You can request a refund within 72 hours of purchase by emailing info@codeandcompile.com.
