FAQ Section

Q1 : What is the difference between the 1, 3, and 6 month tracks?

The 1-month is a crash introduction; the 3-month is job-ready training covering essentials and labs; the 6-month is full mastery with additional modules (IDS, V2X, capstone).

Q2 : Do I need a development board?

It’s strongly recommended. We support STM32, S32K or similar boards to ensure you can run labs and demonstrations.

Q3 : Do I get a certificate?

Yes, upon successful completion of the course (passing all labs and assessments), you will receive a Certificate of Completion. We also recommend you prepare for industry-recognized credentials (like ISO/SAE 21434 training).

Q4 : Can I take this course if I’m not from an automotive background?

Yes, provided you have basic embedded / software knowledge (C, microcontroller, simple networking). We’ll build from fundamentals.

Q5 : Will this help me get a job?

Absolutely. Many students have transitioned into roles such as ECU security developer, embedded security engineer, automotive pen tester, or cybersecurity consultant for the automotive industry.
