Academy Course Modules
The Verification Academy is organized into a collection of free online courses, which we call modules, focusing on various key aspects of advanced functional verification. Each module consists of multiple sessions—allowing the participant to pick and choose specific topics of interest, as well as revisit any specific topics for future reference. After completing a specific module, the participant should be armed with enough knowledge to then understand the necessary steps required for maturing their own organization’s skills and infrastructure on the specific topic of interest.
