PCB design with KiCad - updated for KiCad 9 (Udemy.com)

It is a brillliant course to get started with PCB design in general. The step-by-step explanation of the entire tool paired up with pcb design nuances being taught in parallel made it really easy to grasp. Great place to get started.

It is the best course i have taken for PCB design and the tutor has done an amazing job, cannot explain how happy i am to learn PCB design with this much efficiency. i would love to explore more courses by MR. Peter Dematris such as ESP32 for Arduino Makers etc

The quality of teaching is fantastic but the instructor should have taught little differently. Project based learning would have been more interesting rather than these chapter or section wise explanation. Lectures become boring when you have to do nothing and just watch which items is where and what does it do or how does it work. Section 4-5-6-7-8-9 are great but boring. Multiple projects more would have explained all these.

There are many people with that maker enthusiasm inside them, dreaming of a world where they can build anything themselves. But it eventually all comes down to electronics, which can feel like a total jungle. From Ohm’s Law to high-speed LattePanda modules... these days, no matter what current is flowing, it all leads to EDA—Electronic Design Automation. KiCad is to electronics design what Blender has become for 3D graphics; it is becoming an unstoppable force at the top of the industry. If you want to master KiCad and actually understand the details, this is the essential starting point. You'll need the foundation laid here to survive the next steps in the series—like the ESP32 and LattePanda courses—and especially the new masterclass on 0.5 mm pitch BGA routing on 2-layer boards. This is the best course to begin that journey!

I completed till section 6 and I would say though the course is good and covers lots of aspects, the upbeat music at the intro and outro is very very annoying. Video lengths can be better. I believe whole section 6 can be a single video. Each video is almost 1 min, with 30 seconds of unbearable music. There is no point of dividing videos to such small lengths. I will give the rest of the review at the end of the course. The content looks good till now.

I enrolled in this course with no prior experience in KiCad, and it turned out to be a fantastic learning journey. The instructor breaks down each topic in a clear, step-by-step manner, making it easy to grasp the basics from the ground up. By the time I finished the course, I felt self-assured in creating my own PCB designs — something I’m really proud of.

Very clear and interesting, except one thing: the intro music tends to drown out the speaker such that his first few words are inaudible (I don't like to miss anything.)

This is a very valuable and practical course for learning KiCad, especially for PCB design. The only minor issue is that some Git command updates are shown differently, as Git commands on Windows vary slightly compared to other operating systems.

Es un curso muy completo, muy bien organizado y muy completo. Solamente tengo el problema que algunos videos no tienen subtítulos y transcripción de texto en idioma español. Es un problema que ya he notificado y espero que resuelvan. Felicidades al autor de este curso, es un gran profesional por los conocimientos del curso y por su destreza didáctica en la transmisión del conocimiento.

I started this course as a complete beginner in KiCad, and it has been an excellent learning experience. The instructor explains everything clearly, step-by-step, which helped me understand KiCad from scratch. By the end of the course, I now feel confident in designing PCBs on my own — which is a big achievement for me. The course content is well-structured, practical, and very helpful. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn KiCad from zero and build confidence in PCB design. One suggestion for improvement: it would be great if the instructor could provide PPT or PDF notes for schematic and PCB design workflows, as it would help students track their progress and revise concepts more easily. Hopefully, this can be added in the future.
