Course overview

Crash Course Electronics and PCB Design certification course were created with the goal in mind: to take individuals from zero to heroes in Electronics and PCB Design. The course is designed specifically for individuals who want to learn electronics from the scratch and then utilize that knowledge to create functional printed circuit boards (PCBs). Crash Course Electronics and PCB Design online certification is designed by Andre LaMothe - Computer Scientist, Embedded Engineer, Author & Instructor and is made available through Udemy, an educational organization based in the United States that assists learners in acquiring skills and specialists in refining existing ones.

Crash Course Electronics and PCB Design online course offer more than 108 hours of pre-recorded videos which begin with atomic physics and the electron and swiftly progresses to Ohm's Law, circuit analysis, AC, DC, complex impedance, RC and RL circuits, filters, amplifiers, transistors, FETs, analogue and digital theory, and much more. Individuals will also learn how to build functional electronic devices, design their circuits, and lay them out in Altium Circuit Maker to route, verify, and produce production files.
