Description
Hardly any other embedded firmware framework has attracted as much attention in the recent past as the Zephyr project. And there are many good reasons for this: First presented to the public as open source in 2016, it has now become one of the most innovative and productive embedded development frameworks. At its core, Zephyr is just another real-time operating system, but one that is enhanced by many powerful tools and technologies. As useful and powerful as these extensions are, they also mean that the learning curve can be extremely steep, especially for beginners. And this is where our training comes in. Together with our trainers, some of whom have been familiar with this technology since the early days of the project, participants embark on a guided tour. Short theoretical sections alternate with detailed tasks that provide participants with the necessary tools hands-on.
The optional 1-day preliminary course also provides the necessary basic knowledge of the most important software development tools that are essential when working with Zephyr.
At the end of the 2-day course, participants will have gained enough experience to be able to develop their own applications independently. And they will be well equipped to delve even deeper into this fascinating world with our Zephyr Advanced Training.

Our training approach
From the needs analysis to the awarding of certificates, we offer customized training courses, flexibly designed and carried out according to your requirements.
If you are interested in in-house training, we will start by identifying your needs and discussing your objectives. This discussion forms the basis for an initial offer.
As soon as the framework data has been clarified, our trainers start adapting the training content. Many of our training courses have a modular structure and offer the opportunity to design the agenda flexibly. Training courses that prepare for certifications, on the other hand, are less flexible. Here, however, you can set the content focus according to your wishes.
You will receive all relevant information in advance of the training. The training will then take place in the room of your choice and at the agreed time. Our trainers will adapt to your requirements.
After completing the training, all participants receive a certificate confirming their participation. You will also have the opportunity to give us feedback on the content and the course. We are always happy to receive praise and suggestions for improvement.
