To be a good Automation engineer you must know :
1- what the process is? Industrial process
2- the Industrial Controllers (PLC, SCADA,DCS,..)
3- The medium of control ( mechanical , electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic Actuators.)
The basic courses for automation engineer is " Advanced Diploma in industral Automation (ADIA)"
you can start by learning plc programming especially ABB,SIEMENS, SHNIEDER.
then learn SCADA software like wonderware intouch which will give u a general idea about the work of SCADA
then HMI ,VFD DCS, sensors ,pnumatic and hydrolic control etc
THERE IS DIPLOMA COURSE FOR PLC AND INSTRUMENTATION. BUT THE MATTER IS NOT ABOUT DOING AN AUTOMATION COURSE..ITS ABOUT THE REAL EXPERIENCE WE GAIN FROM WORKING IN AUTOMATION FIELD.THAT EXPERIENCE IS FAR GOOD THAN DOING ANY COURSE
plc basic - plc advance - scada - dcs - microcontroller - hmi - ecc - pnumatic control - hydrulic control - cnc
As for automation is concerns following courses assist it very much
1-Computer Networking
2-Control System
3-PLC (Programmable Logic Control )
The basic courses are PLC, SCADA & Drives(AC & DC) provided by many leading automation companies. Also many private training centers provide Post Graduate Diploma Courses in Industrial Automation.
