What you will learn

Understand why your board fails — and how to design it right

  • Understand electromagnetic fields, return currents, and why noise sources exist
  • Design stackups, PDNs, and EMI filters using systematic methodology
  • Apply pre-compliance measurement techniques before entering the test lab
  • Navigate CE, FCC, and IEC 61000 from a designer's perspective
  • Watch real PCB design reviews — motherboard, SOM, MPPT solar charger
  • Use simulation to predict and eliminate EMC problems before fabrication

Course content

11 modules — from foundations to compliance

Each module combines video lessons with in-depth technical articles. Progress from EM fundamentals through to full standards compliance.

Module 1
Introduction to EMI/EMC
What electromagnetic compatibility means, how it affects product design, and the regulatory landscape your product must navigate.
Module 2
Electromagnetic Fields
EM waves, the electromagnetic spectrum, how fields behave in conductors, and how they propagate through a PCB — the physics behind every EMC problem.
Module 3
Signal Integrity
Signal propagation, impedance fundamentals, frequency effects, return currents, crosstalk, and stackup design — all connected.
Module 4
Power Delivery Networks
PDN fundamentals, anti-resonance effects, and decoupling strategy — so your power planes don't become EMI antennas.
Module 5
Emissions Control
Differential vs common-mode currents, radiated emissions, and conducted emissions — understanding where the noise actually comes from.
Module 6
Immunity & Transient Protection
ESD design and protecting your board from the external interference it will face in the field.
Module 7
EMI Filter Design
Filter principles, configurations, component limitations, and a full design methodology with worked examples for differential and common-mode filters.
Module 8
Real PCB Design Reviews
Live reviews of real boards: motherboard, System on Module (SOM), MPPT solar charger, STM32 project, and sensor board.
Module 9
Electromagnetic Simulation
How to use simulation to predict EMC problems before fabrication — tools, techniques, and how to interpret the results.
Module 10
EMC Pre-Compliance Testing
Near-field probe techniques for pre-compliance testing — find problems in your own lab before they show up in the chamber.
Module 11
EMC Standards & Compliance
CE marking, FCC, and a complete designer-focused walkthrough of IEC 61000. Know what the standards actually require.

Common questions

Before you enrol

Who is this course for?+
Hardware engineers, PCB designers, and system designers who want to master EMI control and ensure EMC compliance. Beginner or experienced — the course builds from first principles.
Do I need prior knowledge of EMC?+
No. Only fundamental electronics knowledge required. The course builds from first principles through to full standards compliance.
Is this about testing or design?+
Design. The goal is to give you the skills to pass tests without needing to worry about them. Pre-compliance techniques are covered as part of the design process — not a testing methodology course.
How long does it take to complete?+
Self-paced. Most engineers complete it in a few weeks while applying techniques to real projects alongside the course.
When can I start?+
Immediately after onboarding, which takes less than 24 hours. All 11 modules are available from day one.
Can I buy this for my team?+
Yes. Group pricing: Startup (3–5 engineers) €1,099/engineer, Enterprise (6+) €999/engineer. Each engineer gets their own login and full access.
Do I receive an invoice?+
Yes. Skool sends an invoice by email after purchase.
Is there heavy math?+
No. Practical and applicable. Where math appears it is presented intuitively — the focus is on building design intuition, not performing calculations.
Do I get a certificate?+
Yes. Certificate of completion upon finishing the course — shareable on LinkedIn.

EMC is not black magic. It is physics.

When you understand why the noise exists, you can design it out. Start immediately — certificate included.
