Course structure

Each course has a well-defined curriculum and is divided into individual easy-to-follow training lessons that cover both technical theory and hands-on exercises in one place. You also get to test your knowledge through interactive quizzes. If you register an account and complete the course as a logged-in user you will be able to receive a certificate of completion that can be downloaded and shared on social media.

All available courses

nRF Connect SDK Fundamentals

Learn the essentials of firmware development using the highly extensible and feature-rich nRF Connect SDK. You will learn how to develop portable RTOS-based applications that can run on any of Nordic Semiconductor devices (nRF52, nRF53, nRF91 or nRF70 Series). In addition, you will gain substantial practical experience in interfacing with common peripherals/system blocks and external sensors, which will give you the confidence to apply the knowledge and the know-how to your project.

Cellular IoT Fundamentals

This course covers the essentials of cellular IoT firmware development using nRF Connect SDK and will give you a solid understanding of the cellular technologies LTE-M and NB-IoT. In this course you will be examining the software architecture of cellular IoT firmware in-depth, as well as the nRF91 Series hardware. By the end you will have learned how to develop firmware for cellular IoT prototypes based on the Nordic Thingy:91 cellular IoT prototyping platform or the nRF9160 DK.

Bluetooth Low Energy Fundamentals

The Bluetooth Low Energy Fundamentals course is an online, self-paced course that focuses on teaching the basics of Bluetooth LE using Nordic Semiconductor devices (nRF52 and nRF53 Series). Through hands-on learning, participants will learn how to create a Bluetooth LE prototype and establish a wireless, unidirectional and bidirectional data channel between two Bluetooth LE devices in a short period of time.
