            For everyone who would like to learn how to start with OrCad and Cadence Allegro PCB.<br><br>

            You will create a simple LED circuit. The course videos are step-by-step and even if you are new in electronics or you have never used OrCAD or Allegro before, by repeating these steps, you will design your board. By the end of this course, you will learn all the most essential information to be able to start using and discovering Cadence by yourself.<br><br>

            Within 1 hour you will learn how to:
