Altium Designer Training
SERVICES
911EDA offers a comprehensive Altium Designer training course designed to take students from the beginning stages of a design through generating files for manufacturing. Students will learn about the components that make up Altium Designer, how to effectively utilize libraries, how to use the Schematic Editor and PCB Editor, and basic commands and available customizations.
We also offer customized training and live online "coaching" sessions to address specific questions. Learn more about Advanced Altium Designer Training.

911EDA's Altium Designer Training Course is designed to teach students how to use the Altium Designer tool for PCB design. Students will learn about the components that make up Altium Designer, how to effectively utilize libraries, how to use the Schematic Editor and PCB Editor, and basic commands and available customizations.
Watch an excerpt from one of our online training sessions.
This course is taught by our Senior PCB Designer who uses Altium Designer to design boards full time. This allows us to provide students "tips and tricks" learned over the past 10 years which other courses do not offer.
Our course is designed to following the entire design process and takes our students from start to finish of a sample project, teaching how to efficiently and effectively use the Altium Designer tool. Upon completion of our course, participants will feel comfortable taking a PCB layout project from setup through generating manufacturing files.
Classes offered are 4 days for up to 10 people. We can accommodate larger classes with sufficient notice.
We offer both classroom sessions at our facility or yours and a live online class using GoToMeeting.
We also offer "coaching" through a live online session with our instructor to work with you hand-in-hand through specific areas you need help with.
Includes comprehensive training manual.
