    The Verification Academy offers users multiple entry points to find the information they need. One of these entry points is through Topic collections. These topics are industry standards that all design and verification engineers should recognize. While we continue to add new topics, users are encourage to further refine collection information to meet their specific interests.

    The Verification Academy is organized into a collection of free online courses, focusing on various key aspects of advanced functional verification. Each course consists of multiple sessions—allowing the participant to pick and choose specific topics of interest, as well as revisit any specific topics for future reference. After completing a specific course, the participant should be armed with enough knowledge to then understand the necessary steps required for maturing their own organization’s skills and infrastructure on the specific topic of interest. The Verification Academy will provide you with a unique opportunity to develop an understanding of how to mature your organization’s processes so that you can then reap the benefits that advanced functional verification offers.

SystemVerilog User Group Notification

The SystemVerilog User Group website has closed, but that doesn't mean the SystemVerilog movement ends. SVUG has teamed up with the Verification Academy Forum to further serve the SystemVerilog community.

Be sure to check out the Verification Academy's Introduction to SystemVerilog Assertions session within the Assertion-Based Verification course and the new SystemVerilog OOP for UVM Verification course. The Academy has become a trusted source of training course material by leading subject matter experts and requires a corporate email account for access.

Thank you again for all of your participation and we hope to see you on the Forum in the Verification Academy.
