I have taken Altium training. The training provided by the “RaceEL Technologies” was very informative. It had hands-on on the software and study materials for reference. The person taking the training was an expert with good working knowledge. He was able to respond to some of the practical queries and how to handle them in the software. The training was customised based on our need if requested so, it was very helpful.

The Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) courses provided a comprehensive foundation in high-speed design principles, covering essential topics like crosstalk, impedance matching, voltage ripple, and PDN design with a good balance between theory and practical application. Real-world examples and diagrams made complex concepts accessible, though both courses could benefit from more hands-on practice with simulation tools, detailed case studies, and additional resources for further learning.
Venkat was knowledgeable and approachable, effectively connecting theoretical material to real-world applications, especially in troubleshooting common SI and PI issues. Overall, these courses delivered valuable insights for professionals in PCB design and high-speed electronics, with opportunities for enhancement through extended sessions, interactive lab exercises, and deeper exploration of advanced topics like multi-layer PCB impacts on power integrity and high-density designs for modern applications..
