Individual online lessons are generally between 1- and 15-minutes long and aim to cover one concept at a time whenever possible.

Courses are divided into modules, chapters and finally into bite-sized online lessons, typically between 1- and 15-minutes duration, so you can learn one concept at a time. You can replay each explanation again and again until you fully understand each concept before moving onto the next. Wherever applicable exercises are provided to check your individual learning success. You can also watch any lesson in any order. You are not forced to move through the course sequentially.

Courses are taught in English spoken if not otherwise indicated. Classroom trainings and Live-virtual classroom are also available in German language.

Courses are delivered as a series of lessons in the form of Powerpoint-style slides with a voiceover. Annotations are added by the instructor as lessons progress to highlight points of interest. Video demonstrations are live recordings of the course instructor with real test equipment in a laboratory setting. Exercises and assessments are provided to optimize your learning experience.

The player automatically adjusts video resolution based on your internet connection speed. However, we recommend a download bandwidth of at least 6 Mbps so you can watch lessons at the highest possible resolution and quality.

Our courses have been designed as a series of modules. We recommend focusing on one module at a time, perhaps one or two modules per day, as you steadily work through a course.

Although our video player automatically adjusts video quality and resolution based on your internet connection speed, you may wish to override this setting in order to improve video quality and text clarity. You can do this by hovering over the course player window and clicking on the resolution icon in the bottom right-hand corner.

You can select between high, med and low resolution.

Selecting a higher resolution and enabling full screen viewing by clicking on the full screen icon is useful if you are having difficulty viewing text.

To switch to full screen viewing, hover over the course player window and click on the full screen icon in the bottom right-hand corner. To exit from full screen viewing, press the ESC key.

To receive a printed certificate for a certification course you must complete all of the modules and video lessons. Assessment is via a short quiz at the end of each course module.

Every quiz consists of a series of questions with a pass mark of 80% before the quiz shows as complete. All quizzes may be re-taken as many times as required until the required pass mark is achieved.

You can view video lessons as many times as you wish on an individual basis during the 365-day activation period. This applies even if you have completed a course and downloaded your certificate. To view a course again, click on “Completed” in the “My Training” Tile on your dashboard.

The R&S Technology Academy was founded more than 35 years ago as the Rohde & Schwarz Training Center to train R&S customers on the entire R&S portfolio of RF products, systems applications and related RF technologies. One of the first public customer training offerings dates from 1987. The topics within R&S standard programs are varying, however R&S also offers a wide range of customized courses in several formats (classroom, onsite, Live-virtual and online courses).

R&S began its first E-Learning activity in 2001 by establishing a small video studio. The trainer presented the topic in front of a camera and a video tape was prepared for distribution to internal employees. The first active steps towards the direction of digital E-Learnings (computer-based trainings) began in 2005. Today we are developing and deliver technical training courses in several learning formats.

Our focus is on teaching practical, relevant and up-to-date technical skills and knowledge that you can apply immediately in the workplace.

Our online courses are available 24/7 in any location worldwide with internet access. Live-virtual classrooms are available at dedicated dates in any location and our classroom courses are offered at several R&S locations at fixed date or on your premises.

All trainings are performed by certified technical trainers, each of them a subject matter expert, typically with over 20 years of experience, ready to share their comprehensive knowledge of the subjects they teach. Beside their technical expertise every trainer is educated in the fundamentals in didactic and teaching methods.

We aim to translate complex technical theory into practical, understandable and relevant concepts that can be applied to solve real world problems.

Independent of the learning format, R&S courses and the assessments are structured and prepared according to well-defined learning objectives with interaction, practical exercises written exercises, self-assessments and final assessment, if applicable. If necessary additional application notes and other learning lectures are added to the course.

We aim to develop your skills to make you more knowledgeable and efficient.
