Training & Consulting
Quategra GmbH offers training courses with a practical orientation for development engineers as well as management staff. All our course instructors have many years experience in the development of embedded systems and they include many examples from day-to-day business in their presentations.
At the beginning of 2008 our current trainings courses for ARM7, ARM Cortex-M3 and KEIL Real-Time-Library were licensed by ARM Ltd. and they use for training their own distributors.
Also the positive feedback from our training participants reinforces our commitment to incorporate new concepts from development work into the training syllabus as well as to consistently take up new topics.
Beyond our training courses we will gladly support your project individually on-site. You can enquire about customized technology consulting, software design or for an expert opinion at any time.

Attendee's feedback
"... this 5-day course on the topic of ARM microcontrollers, the Keil development environment and the Keil real-time products leaves nothing to be desired. Very proficient referees implement a didactically distinguished training concept. The small size of the group and the intensive supervision allow an optimal knowledge transfer. The joy of learning is kept awake by numerous experiments. The highly detailed training materials are a valuable help herein. One can not learn the ropes more efficiently..."
"... the combination of technical know how, contact with costumers and the talent to vividly and simply explain complex topics ..."
"... I'd like to thank you for your prolific Embedded-C training."
"... clarity what exactly needs to be done ..." (IEC61508)
"... it was important, that the training was held by some one who uses it (Rhapsody in C) in the daily work..."
"... the high practical orientation and the provision of the essentials ..."
"... days that save weeks! ..."
