The Electronic Product Development Course Bridging the gap between university training and real-world hardware design

University spends very little time teaching you how to prevent real world hardware problems.

This puts you at a huge disadvantage in your first designs:
- Signal integrity issues
- EMC problems
- Crosstalk
- Grounding mistakes
- And that's just the start...

And the consequences are bigger than most people expect:
- Every design feels like reinventing the wheel
- Months of trial and error
- Multiple unnecessary PCB spins
- Frustration and stress
- And a lot of money burned

In most Western countries, an engineer easily costs €4,000 - €8,000/month to an employer. So every “learning experience” gets very expensive very quickly.

And the worst part? Most of these problems are predictable if you know what to look for and have a system to avoid them.

I had to make all those mistakes at great cost as well, until I developed that system.

That’s exactly why I made this course, so you don’t have to go through the same costly learning process I went through over the last 30 years.

âś… Build predictable impedance-controlled traces with clear design steps.

 Course Contents

Passive Components

âś… See how unknown limitations in 'simple' components degrade circuit performance.
âś… Learn how to choose the right component for each job to minimize that degradation.

EMC and ESD

âś… Understand how and where EMC problems originate.
âś… Learn what to do to avoid those problems before they show up.

Power Supplies

✅ Learn how to design and select the right power supply regulator. 
âś… Route, filter, and decouple your supply correctly to avoid problems.

Reliability and Temperature

âś… Understand which components fail first and why.
âś… Estimate temperatures and design thermal paths that extend product lifetime.

PCB Technology

âś… Learn what PCB technologies exist and when each one makes sense.
âś… Apply manufacturability rules that increase yield and long-term reliability.

Design For Testing

âś… Learn about different types of test points and access methods.
âś… Design boards that are easy to test in both lab and production.

Drawing Readable Schematics

âś… Learn how to draw clear schematics that expose errors instead of hiding them.
âś… See a real before/after example showing the impact of clear schematics.

Schematic Design (Assignment)

âś… Turn a conceptual circuit into a complete schematic using datasheets and proven steps.
âś… Compare your work with an expert reference implementation.

Placement (Assignment)

âś… Learn how to place components for maximum performance.
âś… Follow a complete demonstration or try the assignment yourself first.

PCB Layout (Assignment)

âś…Learn how to route a real PCB step by step with performance in mind.
âś… See exactly how to shape, optimize, and finalize a layout to avoid problems.

Schematic Checks

âś… Use a 31-year checklist to catch issues before they become expensive mistakes.
✅ Systematic review process that prevents the most common design errors.

PCB checks

âś… Apply library and layout checks based on 31 years of experience.
âś… Catch preventable problems before they cause respins.

Design Philosophy (Bonus Module)

âś… Learn how experienced engineers think through complex designs.
âś… Use practical techniques like switching levels and simplifying early decisions.

What you get inside the program

âś… Core Training: The Complete Prevention System

15 high-density video modules designed for efficiency, no slow pacing or filler.

You get the key rules and reasoning in the shortest possible time, so revisiting a topic later only takes minutes.

You’ll master the practical rules behind EMC, signal integrity, component pitfalls, controlled impedance, power supplies, reliability, thermal design, PCB technology, testability, schematics, placement, layout, design philosophy, manufacturability and more.

âś… Full hardware design assignment (KiCad)

A complete schematic → placement → layout workflow with my full solution walkthrough, so you can compare your work against an expert implementation.

âś… Private support forum with direct access to me

Ask questions, share designs, and get personal guidance when you get stuck.

âś… Lifetime access (including future updates)

Rewatch modules anytime you start a new design or face a tricky issue. Study entirely at your own pace: No deadlines, no expiration. Every new update or added module is included for free.

âś… Downloadable checklists, rules, and reference sheets

All my schematic checks, PCB checks, layout rules, and design heuristics in structured form — distilled from 31 years of real hardware experience.

âś… Bonus module: Design Philosophy

The mindsets and thinking techniques I use when approaching complex designs, including switching levels, simplifying early, and preventing hidden traps.

âś… Certificate of completion

Proof that you’ve completed the full Electronic Product Development course.

14-Day Money-Back Guarantee

Watch the first 3 modules within 14 days. If you're not satisfied, you get a full refund.

If you request a refund, I offer an optional short call. Not to keep you in the course but simply to understand what didn’t meet your expectations so I can improve it.

 

It took me 31 years to develop this system to prevent mistakes that can cause respins. And just one respin often costs more than this entire course.

Remember that €160,000 grounding mistake that you'll learn to spot in 60 seconds? That's just ONE of the dozens of hidden traps I encountered across RF, EMC, components, thermal, and reliability over 31 years. That particular mistake cost 64 times what this course costs.

FAQ

? Am I skilled enough / too skilled for this course?

If you understand basic electronics and can read schematics, you're ready. No RF, EMC, or high-speed experience required. Even experienced engineers benefit from the deeper reasoning behind why certain approaches work and how to prevent issues that lead to respins, production delays, and field failures.

? Is this relevant to my type of work?

Yes. Whether you design simple DC circuits, advanced mixed-signal systems, RF systems, power supplies, or digital designs: These principles are universal.

? Do I need PCB design software (KiCad)?

No. The assignments use KiCad (free), but you can simply watch the walkthroughs and apply the same processes in your own tool. Some platforms may also import KiCad projects depending on the software you use.

? Do I have time for this?

The course contains about 9 hours of video lessons. Most engineers finish in 2–4 weeks, often while applying the concepts to their own projects.

You have lifetime access, so you can take it at your own pace: Start now, return later, or enroll now and save it for your next design project. Many students revisit modules whenever specific challenges arise.

? What if I don't like it?

Watch the first 3 modules within 14 days. If it’s not what you expected, email me and I’ll refund you in full: No conditions. Optional feedback is welcome to help me improve.

? Can I get help if I have questions?

Yes. You get access to a private forum where you can ask questions about the course or assignments. I am active there and answer questions directly. You’re not alone.

? Can my employer pay for this course?

Yes. Many companies purchase this course for their engineers. I can provide proper invoices and handle administrative requirements. Check with your manager or HR to see what options are available to you.

One of our mature products was struggling to pass recertification, and we couldn't figure out why. Thanks to a tip from Hans's free module and a simple layout tweak, it passes easily now. Invaluable insight for working with regulated products.
