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.
Target Audience
Any user who has specific requirements or is tight for time and requires focused attention. This is a highly productive method of learning and can be very beneficial to you.
Bring in your own designs and examples and show us the problems you are trying to solve, our instructor will guide you through this.
Highlights
- Product instruction on all or any aspects of Easy-PC
- Can include any items from the standard courses
- Customised for your own requirements
- Practical example lead using your own designs
- Work through your own design difficulties
- Supplied with user notes and custom notes
Course Agenda
Typically includes:
- Front to back Schematic to PCB design
- Understanding options and design settings
- Library creation
- Checking the design
- Plotting and printing
- Custom topics
- Working with your design and resolving problems
