The primary purpose of Analog Electronic Circuits Certification is to serve as a foundational course for undergraduates and as a refresher course for graduate students and circuit designers employed in the industry.
It strikes the ideal mix between theory and practice in Analog Electronic Circuits Classes so that the studied circuits can be built in a laboratory course for undergraduates and their measured performance can be easily compared to the theoretically expected performance. It boosts theoretical confidence.
If you want a certificate, you have to register and write the proctored exam in person at any of the exam centers. The exam is optional for a fee of Rs. 1000 and only the e-certificate will be made available. Hard copies will not be dispatched.

What you will learn
Knowledge of electronics
Students enrolling for the Analog Electronic Circuits Certification Course cover all the important topics starting with basic non-linear circuits including those involving diodes. Then we will start using MOSFETs. With MOS devices, we will first make very basic single transistor amplifiers: common gate, common source, and common drain amplifiers, and lastly start making two transistors and multi-transistor amplifiers.
Analog Electronic Circuits Training includes building differential circuits followed by the effect of capacitance on the performance of these circuits with frequency and also learning how to design an operational amplifier. This course will also try to cover a few more specialized topics like power amplifiers, voltage regulators, and if time permits, oscillators. You can learn more about its practical applications in Electronics Engineering Certification Courses.
After completion of this Analog Electronic Circuits Certification, the learning outcomes include
Understanding the basic concepts of Electronic Circuits
Ability to analyze the frequency domain response of amplifiers in the circuits
Ability to analyze oscillators and feedback amplifiers
