Frequently Asked Questions - PCB Design Training
- Is PCB Design Training available in Bangalore at CADD Mentors?
- Yes. CADD Mentors offers PCB Design Training from our HSR Layout setup in Bangalore. Classroom sessions are batch-based. Online training is also available for students who prefer to learn remotely.
- What software is used in PCB design training?
- Our PCB design course primarily uses Altium Designer and KiCad, which are widely used in the electronics industry. An overview of OrCAD is also provided.
- What is the difference between PCB Design Training and the PCB Design Online Course?
- The PCB Design Training course is the Bangalore-based classroom programme with optional online access. The PCB Design Online Course is a pure online programme designed for students who cannot attend in person.
- Do I need electronics knowledge before learning PCB design?
- Basic electronics knowledge — understanding of resistors, capacitors, transistors and circuit diagrams — is helpful before learning PCB design. The course covers PCB-specific concepts rather than basic electronics theory.
- Can I learn PCB design online through CADD Mentors?
- Yes. Online PCB design training is available with live instructor-led sessions. The syllabus and project coverage are the same as classroom training.
