All high speed protocols like USB3, PCIe, SATA, UFS, etc are all based on OSI architecture. Course focus on teaching all the required concepts of different layers in PCIe.
Course also cover design & testbench implmentation for transaction, Data link and physical layers of PCIe.

TESTIMONIALS
I enrolled in Frontend Verification training course, firstly about the syllabus, they teach a lot of things I have compared to other classes no-one teaches so many things as VLSIGURU has taught me. The live lectures happen on regular basis which is a combination of theory as well as practicals. The mentors are just awesome they have a very good knowledge about the modules and clear our every doubts.
The admins are very much co-operative and understandable and help you throughout the course.
The concepts taught are in a very simplified manner and every lecture is recorded.
Very much satisfied will recommend to any VLSI enthusiast
I joined this institute in summer after I was admissioned into IIT MADRAS, some of my seniors done training in this institute so they suggested me. When I was joining this institute my aim was to learn hardware language so that at the time of placements I should have some extra skills to stand out from the crowd and when the placement came I was so clear about my conceepts and the interviewers got impressed..they provided training live and I was able to clear my doubts and it also helped in courses in IIT which was a hectic thing for others.
The best thing about the institute is that the head of the institute teaches us one to one and make everything a cakewalk.
To be honest I didn't have any prior coding experience before
I am placed in Analog Devices Inclusive at very handsome package on Day 1 placements .
Thanks for the support.
I am very thankful to Owner of inskill Sreenivasa Reddy sir which have Excellent teaching skill and more powerful industry experience and good placement of these institute.
All mentor and trainer well experienced.
Verilog , system verilog ,UVM and project are in really depth with Lab and assignment session .
I appreciate efforts put up by all inskill team and specially appreciate to Sreenivasa Reddy sir.
I strongly recommend this course for students who want to start their journey in vlsi domain.
I completed Physical Design course in the institute and I would say VLSIGURU is the best institute at Bangalore. They have taught each concepts of PD in details and every faculty member is extremely supportive, whenever I had doubts they had it cleared for me which I liked the most. Also LAB classes are very good, they give tool access and you can explore on the tools like an adventurer. One of the greatest boon VLSIGURU has is they keep the live sessions recorded so that if anyone need to revisit the concepts again they can re-watch it.
Each session of course is recorded, missed session videos will be s
