CPD Courses

This one-day course sets out to demystify Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).

Those who have earned this credential have;
- Learned how to find the specific opportunities and applications for AI/ML in their business.
- Learned how to approach the task of finding the best opportunities within your business to leverage AI/ML.
- Created 'real' AI/ML models using one of the most popular software tools used in this area(Python).

This intensive one-day course explores the nature of managing projects. The day focuses on the "three Cs": challenges, causes and cures.

Those who have earned this credential have learned about;
- Characteristics and challenges in project management.
- Causes of risk including technical explanations, psychological explanations, and political-economic explanations.
- Cures, and in particular how to de-bias projects through reference class forecasting; and how to avoid projects running out of control.

This course teaches effective project management, a framework to ensure that investments in projects, resource allocation, monitoring and evaluation are optimised throughout project life-cycles and through to delivery and close-out.

This course gives engineering professionals the ability to successfully recognize, solve and avoid challenging EMI problems.

Those who have earned this credential have attended demonstrations using working hardware to illustrate concepts such as radiated emissions, high frequency antennas, radiated and conducted immunity, and crosstalk in connectors, cables, and IC packages.

This two-day course is Day 1 and Day 2 of a four-day programme:
- Day 1: Introduction
- Day 2: Applying Practical EMI Design and Troubleshooting Techniques
- Optional Day 3: Advanced Printed Circuit Board Design for EMI & Signal Integrity
- Optional Day 4: Mechanical Design for EMC

This is an intensive one day course filled with a wide range of strategies and tactics for achieving higher levels of performance from existing resources.

Earners of this credential have systematically considered each of the stages of the KM cycle (vision and search, generation, acquisition, capture, transformation, transfer, application) and assess how they relate to the organisational performance.

This course will provide you with a clear understanding of the leading Agile method (Scrum) and the key ideas, techniques, tools, behaviours and ways of thinking that can make it work for you.

Those who have earned this credential have;
- Practiced the practical tools of Agile, using our recommended team collaboration environments.
- Learned how to leverage those same tools to support their own projects with geographically dispersed teams.
- Used an interactive case study to practice typical Agile scenarios in a practical and useful way.

The Oxford Agile and Practical Workshop course, which is held over two days, is for anyone with an interest in completing projects quickly and efficiently.

Earners of this credential have gained a clear understanding of the leading Agile method (Scrum) and the key ideas, techniques, tools, behaviours and ways of thinking that can make it work for them.

This two-day course provides a unique blend of theory, applications, and numerous hardware demonstrations to describe effective PCB design strategies to eliminate EMC problems such as radiated emissions & immunity, and ESD, and to improve low and high frequency signal integrity of analog and digital sensors.

This two-day course is Day 1 and Day 3 of a four-day programme:
- Day 1: Introduction
- Optional Day 2: Applying Practical EMI Design and Troubleshooting Techniques
- Day 3: Advanced Printed Circuit Board Design for EMI & Signal Integrity
- Optional Day 4: Mechanical Design for EMC

This course is for marketing professionals and business owners who feel they have mastered the essentials of marketing and who are now looking to develop their knowledge and apply it at a higher level.

Those who have earned this credential have learned how to:
