KiCAD Certification Training with Koenig Solutions

Course Overview

What is KiCAD?

KiCAD is a professional-grade electronics design automation suite providing a fully integrated workflow for schematic capture, PCB layout, and manufacturing. Trusted by a global community of over one million active users, KiCAD supports complex designs with a library of more than 30,000 verified components. The core workflow centers on the Schematic Editor for circuit design and simulation, the PCB Editor for multilayer board layout, and the 3D Viewer for mechanical validation. Designed for engineers and hardware developers, KiCAD offers a robust, open-source alternative to proprietary software, enabling users to scale from simple hobbyist projects to sophisticated commercial hardware without licensing costs. This course provides the essential skills to master KiCAD for efficient, high-quality electronic design.

Everything you need to know about KiCAD certification training with Koenig Solutions.

KiCAD is an open-source software suite for Electronic Design Automation (EDA) used to create electronic schematics and printed circuit boards (PCBs). It includes integrated tools such as the Schematic Editor, PCB Editor, Symbol Editor, Footprint Editor, 3D Viewer, Gerber Viewer, and SPICE simulator. The suite supports designs with up to 32 copper layers and runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS under GNU GPL v3 licensing.
KiCAD training is designed for electronics engineers, PCB designers, hardware developers, and engineering students seeking to master open-source EDA tools. It serves beginners with basic electronics knowledge as well as intermediate professionals transitioning from other CAD platforms. Familiarity with circuit fundamentals like Ohm’s law and component types is recommended before starting.
Learners should have a foundational understanding of electronics, including component types, current flow, Ohm’s law, and basic circuit configurations like regulators and oscillators. Computer proficiency is required, and KiCAD software (version 8.0.6 or later) must be installed prior to training. No prior EDA tool experience is mandatory for introductory courses.
KiCAD is an open-source project and does not offer an official certification. Training focuses on mastering the software's capabilities, including schematic capture, PCB layout, symbol and footprint creation, design rule checks, and manufacturing output generation, which are essential skills for professional hardware design.
There is no official KiCAD certification exam. Training is focused on practical skill development and proficiency in using the KiCAD software suite for professional PCB design workflows.
KiCAD training at Koenig lasts 3 days and is delivered in multiple formats: live online instructor-led, 1-on-1 private sessions, classroom training, and on-site Fly-Me-A-Trainer options. The course includes hands-on labs and is available with flexible scheduling, including weekend and guaranteed-to-run dates to accommodate professional learners.
