Approach towards Training

We have a very unique approach in teaching PADS PowerPCB Layout, Board station, HyperLynx and CAM350 since we are not technicians but we are designers who are using the software every single day. We do not use the "Canned Demo" or "Cookie Cutter" type training that you would receive from other companies. Training is done through exchanging ideas, discussing problems and exploring solutions.

We run you through the entire course, from Library Generation, Net list extraction, parts placement, routing, fill areas, documentation, and post processing. All of this is taught by an instructor who is a full time PCB designer, using PADS on a daily basis. Our personalized 1 on 1 training comprises of maximum 4 students. This gives the instructor plenty of time to work with each student at their own pace, and teach them all the ins and outs of the software. Once our students complete our course, they are immediately productive in the electronics companies.

Job orientation
After discussing with R & D managers of various electronics companies, we have short listed skills required for getting meaningful employment with them. Around these skill set, we have designed the courses offered.
