EMA Design Automation established the OrCAD® North America Academic Program to help colleges and universities better prepare their future graduates for the PCB design workplace. This program provides industry-standard, commercial-grade software tools at reduced prices to accredited colleges and universities for educational purposes.
At the heart of the academic program is the OrCAD PCB Designer Suite for Academic Institutions, a specially-packaged tool set that includes industry-standard OrCAD software for schematic design entry, PCB layout and editing, autorouting, mixed-signal simulation/analysis and signal integrity exploration.More>
Today's increasingly complex electronic design automation systems have created a unique challenge for virtually all engineering departments. While more engineers now have design tools readily available at their desks, many do not enough hands-on experience with their tools to use them productively. Those who do have experience face the ongoing challenge of staying current with improved software capabilities. With multiple users, even a seemingly small productivity improvement can have a significant effect on design productivity, time-to-market, and even a direct tie to the bottom line.
With that challenge in mind, EMA Design Automation's Educational Services Group has developed a series of two- and three-day classroom training sessions for Cadence® OrCAD Capture, Cadence OrCAD Layout, Analog Simulation with Cadence PSpice®, and Cadence SPECCTRA® for OrCAD. Advanced courses are offered for OrCAD Layout and PSpice. These courses are presented across North America by full-time professional instructors with many years of hands-on industry experience.

Onsite Classroom Training
In addition to our regular classroom training sessions, we can also arrange onsite training at your facility for classes of five or more students. Please call 800-813-7494 or
email us to discuss your requirements.
EMA iTrain Online provides
self-paced Internet training solutions for Timing Designer and OrCAD PCB design tools. Each iTrain course teaches design concepts and skills
through a text-based three-step “explain”, “demonstrate”, and “hands-on” learning process. The iTrain program utilizes the same materials that
are used in EMA’s popular classroom training, including self-paced labs with real world design examples. Live technical support is available to
answer questions as they arise, and participants can evaluate their progress in a special “Test Your Knowledge” section for each course. EMA
iTrain Online enables you to become highly confident and proficient in all aspects of PCB design, circuit simulation and timing analysis – by
working and learning at your own pace.
iTrain courses can be purchased online through the EDA store. View iTrain datasheet.
