What attendees have said
The FPGA training course I did online was very well presented by Adam Taylor and followed a logical progression that was easy to understand. Adam was more than willing to answer questions. The exercises were at a good level, and also followed a logical process.
I learned a lot during the course and would recommend the course to anyone with some level of understanding with FPGAs who wants to increase the knowledge and experience of the tool chain and processes for development.
Design Engineer - Space Systems
The course covers a good selection of subjects on FPGA for newcomers to the industry. As well as explaining the basics of how FPGAs work and their purpose, it also gives an idea of the more advanced techniques that can be used in their development. Even people with some experience could get some ideas from here.
Head of Digital Systems - Communications
The team really appreciated the depth and space-specific knowledge from the Adiuvo training in Xilinx FPGAs. For me, knowing our engineers have the support of experts in the field allowing them to learn and develop at speed is fantastic — we will be continuing to engage with Adam and the team at Adiuvo as we grow.

At Adiuvo we’re passionate about teaching people the best way to develop FPGA systems. We’ve delivered thousands of hours’ worth of professional training, both virtually and in-person, using tested content.
In addition to the courses listed below, we regularly customise our training programmes for specific engineering teams - both small and large. If you have a course requirement you’d like to discuss, please get in touch.
FPGA Training
Courses
Mission Critical Design
Cost:
Duration:
£2000 per attendee
4 days
FPGA’s and heterogeneous SoC’s are used in an increasing number of mission critical or high reliability applications – from industrial, medical and scientific to defense, transportation and even space. For these devices to safely and reliability operate in an often-harsh environment, a more rigorous design approach is required.
This course presents the environmental challenges and what they mean to the logic designer. Along with introducing high level concepts such as SIL level, Reliability and Mean Time to Failure, attendees will also gain an understanding of the importance of engineering governance.
Electronics For FPGA Development
Cost:
Duration:
£1,200 per attendee
5 days
This course is aimed at giving attendees the ability to get to grips with key design decisions, standards, considerations, and trade-offs to enable the development of FPGA based solutions – along with how to approach testing and verification.
