Courses and dates for classes taught in the United States are listed below; all class enrollments are limited to 12 students (unless otherwise noted) and are scheduled from 8:30 am until 5 pm ET daily. Contact the Rockwell Automation representative near you for information concerning Arena simulation courses outside the U.S. and Europe.
The 4-day workshop on Arena is taught by experienced Arena Simulation Consultants and consists of an even balance of lectures and hands-on workshops. Here's how it breaks down:
Day 1 --
Begins with an introduction to simulation and the Arena modeling methodology. Next you'll apply these fundamentals to a mini-project, so that by the end of a single day, you will have achieved your first successful application of simulation. Using Arena's integrated tools and one-step modeling environment, you'll build a graphically animated model, select appropriate random distributions from empirical data, and perform a statistical analysis of model results.
Days 2 and 3 --
The fundamentals presented on Day 1 are extended into areas such as modeling complex decision logic; using Arena's built-in material handling system constructs; and creating interactive, menu-driven models. Animation and analysis concepts are incorporated throughout the course to reinforce the importance of these aspects of successful use of simulation.
Day 4 --
Application-focused consulting and project jump start. Begin to map out your own modeling efforts with the expert advice of our consulting staff.

Rockwell Automation offers a two-day workshop on Arena Contact Center Edition that includes consulting workshops on the software and assistance on your first project. On the first day, the session focuses on understanding each Arena Contact Center module and how the modules are used to model your call center. Example models are built that illustrate how to model skill-based routing, specialized call queueing, and advanced call vectors. Additional topics include statistical input and output analysis. After a day of learning the tool, the workshop shifts to developing the first model of your call center. With the aid of an experienced consultant, you will follow a structured approach to your project that includes project definition, model building, validation, and analysis. New users find that the combination of software instruction and project consulting significantly improves the quality of the first Arena Contact Center project.
