What you will gain after the course

  • Understanding EMI/EMC phenomena and countermeasures in products

  • Understanding PCB layout design examples for noise reduction and practical application


Don't worry about PCB noise anymore!

Are you a circuit developer struggling with design due to EMI/EMC issues in your products? We introduce a practical, hands-on course that clearly explains the core principles of PCB layout design—concepts that even experienced professionals often find difficult to master—allowing you to apply them immediately to your actual work.


This course systematically covers everything from the basics to advanced techniques of PCB layout design. Based on an understanding of core principles, you will apply them to real-world design cases, and develop the ability to effectively solve EMI/EMC issues in products. With a curriculum optimized for working professionals at the manager or senior manager level with over 5 years of experience, seize the opportunity to take your expertise to the next level.

This course is a systematically organized program that combines practical know-how and theoretical knowledge gained from approximately 15 years of hardware technology training since 2012. It has been delivered to major corporations (Samsung Electronics, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, LG Electronics, Hyundai Mobis, Hyundai Autron, Hyundai Motor Company), small and medium-sized enterprises, and public institutions (Korea Radio Promotion Association, Korea Institute of Electromagnetic Engineering and Science, Gyeonggido Business & Science Accelerator). The curriculum is designed to be easy to understand without using complex formulas. I have opened this course to share these unique lectures, which you won't find anywhere else, with all of you.



After this course, you will be able to


You can systematically strengthen your PCB layout design capabilities.

  • Targeted at experienced circuit designers and practitioners, this course enables participants to fundamentally understand EMI/EMC issues occurring in complex PCB layouts and independently perform effective reduction designs. By reducing noise-related trial and error during the product development process, you can enhance the overall quality and completeness of your designs.

Based on practical know-how, you will gain a deep understanding of EMI/EMC phenomena.

  • Beyond simple regulatory compliance, you will clearly understand the principles of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) phenomena that occur during the PCB design process. By learning how to handle real-world problem scenarios through various design cases, you can take your problem-solving skills as a circuit developer to the next level.

Complete your practical, applicable PCB layout design skills.

  • By acquiring practical PCB layout design techniques for noise reduction—essential for working-level professionals at the manager or senior manager level with over 5 years of experience—you will grow into an expert capable of immediate application in the field.
