Mortar BoardTraining

We specialize in customized in-house training classes.

The majority of our training classes are "hands-on" and involve a PC and dedicated training hardware, usually a microcontroller training board. For CANopen we offer a 1-week training and consulting combination with prototype implementation guarantee.

Please contact us with your requests and we will try to accommodate your needs.

"The ESAcademy® hands-on training classes significantly shorten the learning-curve for new embedded designs. Participants program real-world examples on the latest development tools and gain invaluable knowledge to reduce their own project start-up phase"
 - Geoff Lees, NXP Semiconductors

Available Training Classes

The ESAcademy® covers a broad range of topics with its training classes. Our most popular classes are:
