（美國）國際自動化學會（Internationally Society of Automation，簡稱ISA）在全世界范圍內為自動化領域的專業人員提供中立性的無偏見的教育和培訓。工業領域專業人員，不管是經驗豐富的工程師、正在實踐的技師，還是了無經驗的職場新人都可以參加ISA在地方培訓中心、或在企業內開設的現場培訓、或通過遠程教學來提高專業技能。ISA的許多課程都是針對的提高實踐能力的實驗室強化課程。
ISA全部課程配備課程分成三大部分，并配備了大量指導教師。盡管ISA為技師和自動化職業人提供的資質課程與ISA培訓課程不直接關聯，但這三大部分可以覆蓋技師和自動化職業人才應該具有的知識范圍，可以有利于學員獲得CAP（Certified Automation Professional自動化專業人員認證）或CCST（ISA‘s Certified Control Systems Technician Program，ISA控制系統技師項目認證）證書。
ISA已經通過了IACET（International Association for Continuing Education and Training，繼續教育和培訓國際聯盟）的認證，表明ISA符合被國際廣泛認為可以提供良好實踐教學的ANSI/IACET 1-2007標準。作為官方認可的成員，ISA被許可提供IACET CEU（Continuing Education Unit繼續教育單位）符合ANSI/IACET 1-2007標準的教育項目。

課程體系
