    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.

Walk

The Verification Academy has adopted 3 target audience classifications; Crawl, Walk and Run based upon the Evolving Capabilities Model introduced in the Evolving Verification Capabilities Course by Harry Foster.

The sessions listed below are targeted to the Walk audience and is considered: content is of general interest, particularly to managers, but also engineers.
