    This is a great in depth guide to at home PCB creation. It was able to take a task I previously thought of as unreachable and guided me through doing it myself at home with equipment I already have. It feels great to know I can DIY a PCB in an emergency or time of urgent need when PCBWay could maybe have a slimmer or more compact design but a longer wait time than doing it myself at home.

    The holding of this course was very educational and practical. In such a course, practical actions should be carried out continuously, or exercises and plans to be implemented at the end of the course should be presented to the trainees. To record the scientific actions of the course in the mind
