Doulos' Altera training credentials

An Altera Approved Training Provider, Doulos has been delivering Altera-specific training since 1999, and FPGA-specific VHDL training since 1997. Our client support activities include Altera-specific FPGA design projects, and we work closely with ALSE, a leading FPGA design house in France. Altera-based training can be delivered in English, French or German. Classes fully support today's FPGA devices, and the Quartus II FPGA tool flow, including dedicated labs.

RapidGain™ training events

In addition to the standard, full scope training classes illustrated in the learning path, Doulos has introduced a series of 1-day RapidGain™ training events, which include the following options for Altera-based design.

• RapidGain™ VHDL Using Altera
• RapidGain™ - Optimizing Performance for Altera
• RapidGain™ - Effective Timing Analysis Using Altera TimeQuest

RapidGain™ classes deliver a combination of experience and knowledge in key topic areas at a fraction of the cost of standard full-scope training classes. Exceptional value, they make focussed training accessible even to the most budget conscious or time constrained engineers.

Doulos is scheduling these training events with the support of local Altera distribution channels, ensuring Altera users have access to high quality training at a significantly reduced price.

Learning path - Professional Altera Designer™

• VHDL for FPGA Design (Altera)
  Provides a solid foundation for Altera designers, especially those needing to apply the more advanced features of VHDL covered in the Advanced VHDL module. Covers the FPGA design flow with practical, hands-on exercises throughout, and delegates leave with a flexible project infra-structure to use, adapt and extend on projects after the class. Workshops include dedicated labs illustrating the use of Quartus II in the FPGA tool flow.

• Advanced VHDL (Altera)
  Pre-requisite training for engineers targeting large FPGAs, such as Stratix® IV. Focuses on testbenches to cope with more complex designs, and design for re-use.

• Comprehensive VHDL
  Comprehensive VHDL is a 5-day class comprising the above two modules, and has been the industry's gold standard VHDL training class since 1991. It is quite simply the fastest, most effective way to get project-ready. You'll gain the expertise you need to write efficient, re-usable RTL code, and create test benches powerful enough to cope with complex designs.

• Altera Designing with Quartus II
  Altera Designing with Quartus II delivers all the techniques and know-how you need to use Quartus more effectively to create successful designs. Learn how to avoid common design problems, save time, boost efficiency and get the chance to learn extra tips and insights from an experienced Altera designer and expert tutor.

• Altera NIOS II SoPC
  Altera NIOS II SoPC is a mission crtical 3-day class for hardware and software engineers. Attend with your colleagues and you'll learn to create convergent design flows, develop efficient architectures and avoid the traditional headaches and time-wasters associated with SoPC design.

• Expert VHDL
  Expert VHDL has become essential training for engineers working on large or complex designs. Without it, efficiency and productivity can suffer, causing time-to-market and development costs to increase. A 5-day class, Expert VHDL is presented in two independent modules.
  Expert VHDL Design (days-1-2) teaches you to write better, more efficient code that is easier to maintain and re-use.
  Expert VHDL Verification (days 3-5) shows you how to speed up and improve design verification; make testbench writing easier and more effective for even the most complex testbenches, and create behavioural models to make tests run faster.

• Team-based and in-house training
  Doulos excels at tailoring class content, duration, EDA tool and technology contexts to maximize the value of training. If you have more than 3 engineers to train, please ask Doulos about our cost effective small team pricing. If you have 5 or more engineers that require training, speak to the sales team about in-house training options.

Altera Training Credits

Because Doulos is an Altera Approved Training Partner, you can access great value deals through the purchase of tool and training bundles. If you are using Altera technology, your company may already have purchased Altera training credits. Your Altera Sales Representative will be able to provide you with more information.
