Hello everyone,

I have seen people who have certifications in PCB design like CID/CID+, PCEA-Certified Printed circuit designer etc. My interests lie in high power RF amplifiers and switched mode power supplies, I don't know if should pursue the certifications, however, looking at the syllabuses of the certification education, they mostly talk about design standards, rest of the material contains PCB tips and tricks. I am not sure whether they contain any information that cannot be found on the internet. This is a very open question and i am still in my beginning of my career.
