PLC2 Training Format

Easy Start: FPGA- and MPSoC-based Courses for Beginners

Our two-day Easy Start training courses, which have been successful for years and are in great demand, were developed to make it easier for »newcomers« among FPGA and MPSoC users to get started in the FPGA/MPSoC field and to train and support them in the use of the technology. This training series is also suitable for project managers, team leaders, and group leaders.

The focus of this training format is on practical application with modern FPGAs/MPSoCs and less on the theoretical basis. The participants will be professionally guided by our experienced PLC2 experts to implement their own FPGA/MPSoC projects in order to take the first steps towards independent development of complex FPGAs/MPSoCs. Deeper theoretical foundations are taught in other training courses.

Easy Start in a Nutshell

Perfect for newcomers and technical project managers

You are new to the world of FPGA/MPSoC and are looking for a practical, not theoretical training class.

Start to kick your project

This is one of our most successful training classes for years and is in great demand at our customers across Europe.

Two-day investment to success

In only two days you will learn from the experts how to take your first steps in your own complex FPGA/MPSoC project.

Practical hands-on for all levels

Bring your project to the class and we will help you get started with practical hands-on work. For deeper theoretical foundations, we have other classes.

FAQ

01. Can you help me with reserving the room?

If you need a room for a face-to-face course, please contact us. We will support you in choosing suitable accommodation.

02. What times in the day do courses start and end?

Our face-to-face and online courses start daily at 9 a.m. (CET/CEST) and end at 5 p.m., with two coffee breaks and an extended lunch break. The total course time per day is 6 hours.

03. Are course materials provided?

All participants of paid courses will receive English training materials in electronic or paper form.

04. Will I receive a course certificate?

Each participant of a paid PLC2 course will receive a signed certificate of attendance at the end of the course.

05. Can I pay with Training Credits (TCs)?

Of course, you can also pay for your training using your available TCs (Training Credits). We will then invoice AMD directly. If you do not have sufficient credit for the booked training, the difference can be paid for with an additional payment. The additional charge will be invoiced directly to you.

06. What are the options for payment?

You can pay us via bank transfer or with TCs (Training Credits). Unfortunately, payment via debit, credit card, or PayPal is not possible.

07. What is the deadline for payment?

Payment is due 14 days after the invoice date, without deduction. Please transfer the amount within that time.

08. What are the options for cancelling?

You can cancel free of charge up to 14 days before the course starts. If you have to cancel at short notice due to illness or other reasons, you have the option of adding a substitute participant or of making up the course at a later date (within 6 months).

09. When will I receive a firm commitment as to whether the course will take place?

You will receive binding confirmation 7 days before the course begins as to whether it will go ahead.

10. How many participants are required for a course to be given/what is the minimum number of participants?

We generally offer courses for 5 or more people. That means that if you would like to book a course at your premises, you need 5 people to register or need to pay the amount for 5 participants, even if fewer people attend.

11. Can I book a course that is given in English?

If you need a course that is officially advertised as given in German to be given in English, please contact us. We will try to make that possible for you.

12. What language is the course in?

Our webinars and online courses are conducted in English. All our F2F training courses are generally conducted in German. Feel free to contact us if you need face-to-face training in English or online training in German.
