Individual 5G Training in the Automotive Industry

Whether you are a business professional, technical engineer, or anything in between in the automotive industry, it is important to understand the impact 5G technology is having in your field. After all, 5G’s enhanced data rate, low latency, and ultra-high reliability, along with C-V2X and location technologies, are revolutionizing the tech available for automobiles, and it is important to understand how this technology revolution affects your work.

The following are 5G training courses we recommend for both non-engineers and engineers working in the automotive field, along with links to relevant courses taught by engineers at Qualcomm Technologies. You may take the courses outlined below using our flexible eLearning format, so you can learn at your own pace from wherever you’d like.

• Automotive 5G Training for Engineers and Non-Engineers: Regardless of your occupation, we recommend enrolling in general 5G training, so you can understand the basics of the technology and how it is driving the industry. To start, we recommend looking into the Qualcomm Wireless Academy’s (QWA’s) two-hour 5G Primer, which gives you the overview you need to understand the importance of 5G in any industry. We also recommend taking a C-V2X Training Seminar that covers an overview of the Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) landscape, an introduction to Cellular-V2X (C-V2X) concepts, a C-V2X system overview, and much more. Finally, we also recommend taking a Location and Positioning Technical Overview seminar.
• Additional Automotive 5G Training for Engineers: While engineers should enroll in the 5G training outlined above, we also recommend taking 5G courses on other related technologies that cover important skills and use cases that can be applied in the automotive industry, such as 5G NR Multi-Access Edge Computing and 5G NR Network Slicing.

Corporate 5G Training in the Automotive Industry

As a company in the automotive industry, you should consider 5G training to ensure your team has the knowledge and skills it needs to maintain and strong competitive advantage. While your team can gain access to any of the courses discussed in the section above, you can also take part in QWA’s corporate training program.

Through this program, you’ll have access to a variety of automotive-related courses and modules for companies looking to dive deep into automotive wireless technology and even learn about specific Qualcomm® products. Examples of courses in our corporate program include:

• URLLC Training
• Virtualized RAN (vRAN) Technical Training
• Location and Positioning Technical Overview
• Automotive Connected Car Communications
• More than a dozen in-depth C-V2X modules about specific wireless technologies and topics, including C-V2X System Architecture and Interfaces, ITS Stack, V2I and V2N Communication, and much more.

Please note that to receive live virtual or in-person training for any of our corporate program courses, you must have at least 15 employees enrolled.
