What is Self Paced Online Training?

The NI Training and Certification team is continuing to make NI training courses available in the Self-Paced Online Training format. Training in this format will automatically be available to customers with an active software service contract 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year via ni.com and will also be available for purchase individually.

Self-paced online training content is delivered through a Learning Management System (LMS) that is accessible from ni.com/self-paced-training using a customer's ni.com User Profile. Each self-paced online training course will contain:

• Multimedia (video) training modules covering the same topics as the corresponding instructor led course
• Interactive quizzes
• Exercises and solutions

Multisim Basics

Get an introduction to the NI Multisim integrated capture and simulation design environment and learn how to build a schematic and evaluate circuit performance with interactive simulation and advanced analyses. Also discover how to complement your current database of components by creating custom capture and simulation parts. This course prepares you to design and simulate a circuit that is ready to be transferred to board layout and routing.

Who should take these courses?

New Multisim users and designers who need learn how to capture, simulate, and analyze circuit.
