Custom Courses

Course Description

We can tailor courses to suit your own requirements. The course can be a blend of any of our standard courses together with topics of your own agenda. We find this particularly useful for customers who have specific design requirements or wish to work through topics of their own choosing. Perhaps an area of functionality is of trouble to you, Library Creation for example with custom footprints, or Hierarchy in Schematics, we can accommodate this with this course.

An agenda is agreed before you attend to give our instructor time to prepare additional notes for you. For topics covered during the course but not previously documented, we will send you reference notes after the course has been completed so you have these at your office to use.
