SUCCESS STORIES
The Arduino Course for Absolute Beginners
Get a structured roadmap for programming and electronics with
Arduino and finally start building the projects you’ve been planning!
Stop us if any of this sounds familiar:
- You're cutting and pasting code, but you don't really have any idea what it is doing, or how to adjust it to fit your needs
- You have a great idea for an Arduino project, but you don't know where to start and have never really programmed much before
- You've spent countless hours on Google/YouTube searching for answers to your Arduino questions, and you're sick of the frustration of wrestling with code that looks cryptic
- Your Arduino project is semi-working, but you feel stuck from lack of understanding of key Arduino functions to program the functionality you want
THERE’S A BETTER WAY TO LEARN EVERYTHING
YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ARDUINO
PROGRAMMING AND ELECTRONICS
The Programming Electronics Academy is where lifetime learners go to learn everything from the basics of Arduino programming and electronics, to the more advanced level of thinking about how to best create and design programs for Arduino.
Our flagship training can be yours...
-> The Arduino Course for Absolute Beginners
And it's packed with in-depth, practical training and resources on all aspects of programming and using Arduino to build your projects. And time machines.
Whether you're a complete beginner or you've been tinkering with code by hacking other people's work, The Arduino Course for Absolute Beginners is the ideal starting point for anyone looking to become an Arduino expert.
"Positively, the best investment I have made personally in a very long time." -Christopher Cooper, UK
The Arduino Course for Absolute Beginners
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
THE ARDUINO COURSE FOR ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS difference
Simplicity: You shouldn't need a PhD to program Arduino, or years of programming and electronics experience, so in our training we don't assume you have either. We start from the bottom and build up, without watering down the details.
Fun Style: Life is too short for boring. We do our best to keep our training fun by injecting some lame humor every now and again.
Concise Training: As much as we'd all love to have more time for our hobbies, the truth is it can be hard to sneak in even a couple hours a week. We understand your time is precious and that's why we keep our training lessons concise and focused.
REAL PEOPLE, REAL PROJECTS, REAL SUCCESS

Lessons are organized and progress seamlessly from the very basics of electronics and programming to more advanced topics.
The videos and supporting material are high-quality, with a bit of welcome humor thrown too.
I recommend Programming Electronics Academy to all makers interested in learning about electronics and Arduino.
Dr. Martin Héroux

"What I was missing was structure and a foundation on computer programming and electronics. I found exactly what I needed on the web at Programming Electronics Academy."
Jack Tinsley

I started watching the many free videos from PEA and quickly realized the benefits of joining.
Steve Busik
(Servo Bear Project)

This is the best site I have ever used to help an old guy like me learn to code. I couldn't have done it without your lessons.
Dan Massey

"It is much thanks to your awesomeness that I am learning more and more useful stuff in this field."
Klas Bergman

I am now starting to get the hang of reading other people's sketches and adopting to what I require.
Ken Houlihan
Queensland Australia

"Thanks to PEA I could finish my project in the way I wanted."
Emma Lievens

"[This training] was the magic unicorn I had been searching for while tumbling down the rabbit hole known as the Internet."
Chris Regnin

"[the training] is absolutely fantastic. I enjoyed them so much…I've also tried many practical lessons you had prepared in your lessons."

NOT SURE IF The Arduino Course for Absolute Beginners IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
This course is NOT for everyone, and truth be told we'd prefer to help you figure out if it's not right for you BEFORE you join rather than waste your time. So, let's cut to the chase...
WHO THE COURSE IS FOR
- Electronics Hobbyists who want to start programming Arduino to add more levels of control, automation, logic, etc to their projects
- Newcomers who have never programmed before (or tried and got frustrated), and want training that takes a step-by-step approach while also learning about digital electronics
- Teachers who want to learn how to use Arduino to help instruct their students in STEM activities, and are willing to put in the work to learn
- Hobbyists of all types that want to use Arduino to enrich their current hobby, and are are willing to learn something new to do it
- Entrepreneurs that want to use Arduino to create a proof of concept prototype for their idea. Or programmers that just want the run down on how to develop within the Arduino environment.
WHO THE COURSE IS NOT FOR
- People who think just watching and reading lessons will teach them how to code. Programming takes practice! If you don't want to practice actual coding, then we're not the right choice for you.
- If you're looking for electronics theory or computer science theory, you won't find it here. We focus on the practical application of Arduino - how you can use it!
- Someone who is looking for a done for you tech solution. We're not consultants, and we won't code your Arduino projects for you!
- Anyone looking for a quick fix and not willing to dedicate some time to practice.
- People looking for cut and paste code solutions for their projects. There is a place for borrowing code, but we are about teaching you how to code on your own, not just taking other peoples code.
It might seem strange, us trying to talk you OUT of becoming a customer - but truly if The Arduino Course for Absolute Beginners is not the right fit then neither of us benefit. We have a vested interest in your success and that all starts by making sure the training is right for you before you buy.
