SystemVerilog for Verification
This 4 day course is aimed at experienced Verification engineers who wish to learn about verification with SystemVerilog.
The course stresses a methodology for implementing these features in your verification environment.
This course is taught for all the leading simulators although not all simulators will support every feature immediately.
The course is a consistent mix of lecture and lab-exercises. Targeted quizzes and labs are designed to reinforce the course material.
Some of this class overlaps our SystemVerilog for Designers course.
