Course Description
Become a KiCad professional and learn one of employer's most requested skills nowadays!
This comprehensive course is designed so that students, engineers, electronics hobbyists... can use KiCad software from scratch to use it in a practical and professional way. Never mind if you have no experience in the software, you will be equally capable of understanding everything and you will finish the course with total mastery of the subject.
After several years working as an Engineer, I have realized that nowadays mastering KiCad for the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) design is very necessary in engineering, electronics or other industrial applications. KiCad is an open source software (it works without commercial licenses), and that is why it is one of the leaders in the industry and its demand is increasing. Knowing how to use this software can give you many job opportunities and many economic benefits, especially in the world of engineering and digital electronics.
The big problem has always been the complexity to perfectly understand the software it requires, since its absolute mastery is not easy. In this course I try to facilitate this entire learning and improvement process, so that you will be able to carry out and understand your own projects in a short time, thanks to the step-by-step and detailed examples of every concept.
With 8 exclusive hours of video, this comprehensive course leaves no stone unturned! It includes both practical exercises and theoretical examples to master KiCad. The course will teach you PCB design in a practical way, from scratch, and step by step.
We will start with the installation of KiCad software on your computer, regardless of your operating system and computer.
Then, we'll cover a wide variety of topics, including:
Introduction to KiCad and course dynamics
Download and Install KiCad latest version
General familiarization with the user interface and KiCad features
Complete project setup and basic KiCad Commands and Preferences
Design Schematic
Comprehensive focus on Design PCB Board, from zero to advanced (set-up, wiring, 3D view, routing, Design Rule Check - DRC...)
Working with Manufacturing Files (BoM, CPL, Gerber, Drill...)
Making our own library
Full use of KiCad Spice Simulation
Mastery and application of absolutely ALL the functionalities and tools of the software
Practical exercises and much more!
In other words, what I want is to contribute my grain of sand and teach you all those things that I would have liked to know in my beginnings and that nobody explained to me. In this way, you can learn to solve a wide variety of projects quickly and make versatile and complete use of KiCad. And if that were not enough, you will get lifetime access to any class and I will be at your disposal to answer all the questions you want in the shortest possible time.
Learning KiCad and PCB design has never been easier. What are you waiting to join?

Hello everyone! We are a team of engineers with a strong enthusiasm for technology, computing, and software.
Besides our engineering roles, some of us also teach at universities. But what truly drives us is the love of learning. We believe that happiness comes from always exploring new things and constantly seeking self-improvement. Naturally, like most people, we also enjoy going out and having fun, and we have our hobbies outside of teaching.
The most important thing to us is helping others, as it's the most rewarding part of our day-to-day lives. Through our courses, we aim to pass on the knowledge and insights we wish we had at the beginning, bridging the gaps that weren't covered for us.
¡Hola a todos! Somos un equipo de ingenieros con una gran pasión por la tecnología, la informática y el software.
Además de nuestro trabajo en ingeniería, algunos de nosotros también damos clases en universidades. Pero lo que realmente nos motiva es el amor por el aprendizaje. Creemos que la felicidad viene de explorar siempre cosas nuevas y buscar constantemente la auto-mejora. Naturalmente, como a casi todos, también nos gusta salir y disfrutar y tenemos nuestras aficiones a parte de la enseñanza.

I'm self-taught so I wanted to bolster my existing knowledge with the basics. Course had some information that I was not aware of beforehand and I'm happy that to have it now.

I fine with it, but when the instructor says what she thinks is "sheet", the way she is pronouncing it is "shit". It is very distracting.

Przeprowadza przez podstawy obsługi oprogramowania i jego interfejsów. Tempo demonstracji dostosowane do początkującego użytkownika.

A short walk through the options. Not that it is totally memorized, so it is probably necessary to go back an watch later. Now I think I have been through all of the design (schematic and PCB), but I am looking for how to mount components on the backside of the PCB. And because it is named "The complete course" I think this part is missing.

Detailed comprehensive course on Kicad. Good for beginners
By Simon Papukyan on 7/6/2024
English language pronunciations, many words are difficult to understand. Background music keeps repeating and after a while gets annoying. It is better not to have any music in the background. Audio voice level is not constant, and it varies a lot, so you must adjust it all the time. Presenter sometimes does steps and will not explain. Simulation supposed to be done on the circuit that was created, not at the end of lecture with partial circuits. Course is very important for those who wants to learn KiCad.

Sehr guter struktureller Aufbau der Videos. Als Neuling bei KiCAD kann ich mit dem Gelernten perferkt starten. Sehr professionell aufgebaut und erklärt. Sehr gut erkärt, angenehme ruhige Stimme. Diesen Lernkurs kann ich uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.
By Cristóbal Alarcón on 3/7/2024
Hay una musica en cada video que siempre es la misma y esta en continuo loop, es demasiado molesto. Tuve que ver todo el curso en velocidad 1.75 ya que era bastante lento. Hay muchas partes en donde el instructor se dedica a realizar todo el paso y solo parece querer aumentar el tiempo total del curso sin explicar conceptos.

Excelente, muy bien explicado
