Latest Testimonials
"Forget the electron flow model from the classic battery-bulb circuit when it comes to printed circuit boards."
Gabriele Marocco, Italy
Hardware Designer & Content Creator
PCBsemplice.com
"I found Dario on LinkedIn and then joined the PCB and EMI academy.
Before attending this program, I designed different boards successfully but wanted to deepen my knowledge.
I felt I was missing key knowledge, especially around ESD and shielding.
My doubt was that EMI is too big to be understood in just six lessons. But now, I know where to look when there is an EMI issue!
Moreover, I am more confident in analyzing PCBs for potential EMI issues, and I have more confidence in recording YouTube content.
The program is not only a review of the content available on YouTube or Dario's website, but it is also a personalized path to achieve your career goals faster!"

How much does it cost?The investment for the 4-weeks program if selected is $1499 USD per person. When deciding on what we were going to offer for mastering EMI, we were left with two choices. The first choice was to go mass market and try to fit as many people as possible. The problem is that we wouldn’t be able to provide outsized value… and go the extra mile to give you every possible advantage. Our second option was to require a little higher investment on your part – but in exchange, we are able to devote so many more resources to help solidify your success with mastering EMI. Well… We decided to leave the low-level solutions to the other guys and instead ask a little more of you but give you a lot more in return. If that sounds at all interesting, apply today to see if you qualify for the program. You can try to master EMI for free online. Alternatively, if you think becoming a highly professional EMI specialist is a worthwhile investment, you can get personalized help with our 1:1 EMI Mentoring program. Experience what becoming a specialist looks like and apply for the program today.
