Testimonials
"I had attended your recent course at our Philips, Semiconductors site. I have found
this to be one of the best training courses I have attended (and believe me I have
attended quite a few). The presentation style, material and making use of real life
examples made this much more informative and useful."
"I have personally attended Rod's class and it was the best SI class I have ever
attended, as an electrical engineer I actually grasp the concepts better than the
mathematical/textbook approaches that Dr Johnson teaches. This is the best class
for non-experts. It covers the SI concepts in a way that any board designer or
engineer could understand SI to a level that they could recommend routing solutions
to the PhD!”
“Thanks - No! MANY THANKS for one of the best courses I have ever been on. It has
to be a major milestone” Patrick
"Easily the best course/training I have ever been. Thank you" Finland
