Answers to general FAQs about the upcoming Sign-off STA 5-day workshop and its benefits -

Its for a different set of students and professionals, who are currently studying STA from YouTube and Udemy, but looking for some valid, more robust lab based certification to apply for STA jobs OR are planning to switch to STA roles in their profession.

You can think of this workshop as guided STA Masterclass which has all necessary information (through lab work) to sign-off a chip tapeout. This workshop will compel you to write constraints and test them on your design during lab sessions. Currently we are using OpenTimer for labs as we have done entire survey of opensource tools for STA and OpenTimer offers the perfect flexible solution for STA learning (especially timing graphs), as you can write commands at core STA engine

Post this workshop, learning any commercial grade STA tools will become a cake-walk, as would be explained by instructor himself during the workshop. And most importantly - your certificates and lab reports will be circulated to all my industry members who are looking for STA engineer recruits. Your Workshop lab account and GitHub report will make ensure to your interviewer that you got the concepts right and are ready to get absorbed

So all the best and I will see you during the workshop
