Design real RTL. Prove it works.
SkillLift Labs' first academy teaches Verilog RTL in a real browser-based simulator. Start Course Orientation and Module 1 free, no card — then continue with a transparent $79 USD Interactive Course at the founding beta price.
Free through White Belt · $79 USD one time · 14-day no-questions refund · no subscription

Playground
Write synthesizable Verilog and run it in a real Icarus Verilog simulator before you decide whether any course is worth your time.
Live — founding beta
Verilog RTL Foundations
Free Course Orientation and Module 1 through the White Belt. Modules 2–7 are live now in the $79 USD Interactive Course.

RTL Proof
A learner-controlled work sample connecting source code, simulation evidence, waveforms, and review status. Complete the capstone and pass review to earn it.
Proof signals
Built around evidence learners can actually show.
SkillLift is designed for technical domains where the difference between exposure and ability matters. The product focus is simple: practice in context, run real tools, and preserve evidence that can be reviewed.
Real simulation
Icarus Verilog runs your code and shows exact pass/fail output — not a scripted demo.
Waveform evidence
Inspect signal transitions directly instead of trusting a pass/fail badge alone.
Earnable RTL Proof
After an approved capstone, learners can assemble source code, simulation evidence, waveforms, and explanation into a work sample they choose whether to publish.
See the labeled sample and proof path →Who it's for
ECE/CE students, recent graduates, FPGA or VHDL learners, and hardware-focused engineers who want to build real RTL and prove it. Silicon Chip Academy is the first of a planned family of SkillLift Labs academies — it's the one that's live today.
Guided Sprint · Waitlist
Waitlist onlyA manually run cohort is planned with a small pod, weekly deadlines, and expert feedback. It is not purchasable, it has no dates, and it has no price yet — we will not name one until founding beta shows what running a real cohort costs.
Joining the waitlist is not a purchase or reservation.
