What is so special about this course?

What makes this course special is its end-to-end, system-level view of embedded middleware, going beyond definitions and APIs.

Instead of treating middleware as a black box, the course explains why it exists, where it fits, and how it is designed—from drivers to applications. It connects theory with real automotive use cases, including a practical SOME/IP case study, and highlights real-world middleware architectures used in Automotive production programs.

The course also bridges critical gaps by covering OS ‘Know How’ for middleware development and C++ design rationale, and finally provides a clear learning roadmap, enabling learners to confidently grow into industry-ready embedded middleware developers.

Certificate

The journey through the course is a challenging one! Our courses are packed with insights and will take time to sink in. You will be awarded with a Certificate of Mastery when you complete 95% of the course work.

What you see above is a sample certificate. The design of this certificate will be modified from time to time to make it more shiny and reflect the rightly earned pride!

There will always be a dedicated certificate identification number to verify it with us. This should enable anyone to check the authenticity of the certificate.
