What is the process for entry into training?​

Inductive Automation is a secure facility. Participants must check in every day prior to entering the classroom. An orientation will be provided on the first day of training, so participants will gather in the lobby on the first day prior to the orientation.

What is the dress attire for training?​

Training class will take place within our corporate headquarters which is a business casual / casual environment. It is important to us that our employees, vendors, and guests are considerate of one another and dress appropriately for the nature of our business.

We do not recommend the following attire:

• Pants with rips, tears, or holes

• Cutoffs

• Offensive attire (i.e., gender, ethnicity, age discrimination, etc.)

• Beachwear / Gym attire

• Pajamas / Slippers

• Open-toed footwear

We want to make sure you're as comfortable as possible during your stay. If you have questions or would like additional details regarding our dress code policy, please contact training@ia.io for more information.

What do participants need to bring to training?​

Coffee and other beverages are provided throughout the training. Participants can use a travel mug to reduce waste. Participants will use the computers provided in the training room, so laptops are not needed.

Is lunch provided?​

Daily catering is provided from 12-1. Participants with specific dietary requirements can request accommodations, using the link provided in the welcome email.

Is smoking allowed during training?​

There is a designated smoking area located out the right side gate from the back patio. The patio can be accessed from the doors in the cafe.

Is there WiFi available for my devices?​

Once you arrive inside of the training room the WiFi information can be provided.

What happens if I have an early flight on Friday?​

Training is held from 8-5 PM every day, but on Friday training is scheduled from 8-3 PM. In order to receive certification, participants must meet attendance and lab work completion requirements. Missing part of class on Friday could result in certification not being achieved. Depending on traffic, it takes about an hour to travel to Sacramento International Airport, so plan flights accordingly if certification is desired.

What are fun things to do in Folsom?​

Night life is fairly limited in Folsom, it’s more focused on outdoor activities like hiking, bicycling, etc.

  • CSUS Aquatic Center to play on the water in the evening. They rent things like stand up paddleboards and kayaks.

  • Bike/Walking trail - 10 mile loop around the river (Lake Natomas) behind the office. Start in Old Folsom for the best views.

  • Folsom Outlet stores

  • A movie at the Luxe theater in the Palladio. There is also a Cinemark theater off Iron Point Road.

  • Shows at the Harris Center

  • Red Hawk Casino is about 20 miles east on Highway 50

  • Go to Sacramento (~25 mins drive)

    • There is an area called Old Sacramento (or Old Sac) on the river that is fun to walk around and visit the shops

    • Coin-Op Game Room is a bar with classic stand-up arcade games on K Street

    • Depending on the season, the Sacramento Kings (NBA), Sacramento River Cats (minor league baseball) and Sacramento Republic (minor league soccer) might be playing in the evening. And soon: the Sacramento A’s (MLB)

  • Sorry, Lake Tahoe is ~2 hour drive from here (each way), and the San Francisco Bay Area is roughly the same distance in the other direction, so they not really options for an evening visit
