ARM has expanded its technical training portfolio to include live courses that can be remotely-delivered in any location. The courses will provide a flexible and fast-response training service for companies and individuals, allowing them to take full advantage of ARM technology features. Ultimately, this will enable products to be delivered to market faster and more cost-effectively.

"Our ecosystem partners make significant investments to differentiate themselves and utilise the value the ARM platform offers," said Monika Biddulph, General Manager, Partner Enablement Group, ARM. "Our new training programme will help partners to deliver their products far more efficiently because of the significantly expanded access they will now get to the world’s best ARM architecture trainers. This will extend the competitive advantage even further for companies taking part.”

The programme provides remote training for classes of two engineers and upwards with workshop durations ranging from two hours to two days. It is also possible to request customised workshops tailored to individual designers’ specific needs.

The ARM training team offers a broad suite of courses including an introduction to ARMv8-A architecture, a one day advanced course on virtualisation and a selection of two day courses covering ARM NEON and ARM CoreSight debug and trace technology.

The remote training portfolio is aimed at SoC designers, software developers and engineers who are integrating ARM based silicon into system-level applications. Courses are delivered in English from ARM’s live broadcast studios in Cambridge, with attendees connected in from as many locations as required. There is a plan to support other languages, including Mandarin, at a later date.

ARM is already a leading education provider delivering dedicated training workshops to its intellectual property licensees. The customised remote training will expand this training to the entire ARM ecosystem of more than 1,000 companies. In 2014, ARM’s training team delivered 4,000 hours of advanced SoC design and software development training to licensees and system designers and over the past five years ARM’s training business has grown at over 25% CAGR.
