Udemy – PCB design mastery from from ZERO to PRO In 5 hours (KiCad)

PCB Design Mastery: From Zero to Pro in 5 Hours Using KiCad is a laser-focused course that teaches you to design professional 1-2 layer printed circuit boards from schematic to manufacturing files. Perfect for beginners and intermediate users, this training eliminates all fabrication/soldering content to concentrate exclusively on what matters most – creating clean, manufacturable PCB layouts in KiCad.

You’ll master essential skills through practical projects (gate driver and capacitive switch):

Schematic capture and component selection

• Intelligent board layout strategies for THT and SMD components

• Design rule checking and error prevention
• Gerber/drill file generation for manufacturing
• electronics symbol editor for non-common  components
• Footprint assignment editor and assignment for any needed component

The curriculum features real-world projects including:

• An Arduino-compatible shield with mixed THT/SMD components
• gate drivers circuit for general power electronics
• ESP 32 based  SMD circuit

What makes this course unique:

• 100% focused on 1-2 layer design – no confusing 4+ layer content.
• Zero fabrication/soldering detours – pure PCB layout training
• Manufacturing-ready outputs accepted by any fab house
• Custom KiCad libraries with pre-verified footprints
• Design-for-manufacturing (DFM) principles from lesson one
