5G University Program for ASU - Qualcomm Wireless Academy

The Qualcomm Wireless Academy (QWA) is excited to offer students free 5G training, the opportunity to receive a 5G certification, and the opportunity to connect with Qualcomm recruiters! This program is open to students looking to enhance their 5G knowledge and skills and boost potential career prospects in a growing industry. No prior experience is required to complete this program.

Here’s how the program works:
1. Register for Your Training — Take 1-2 minutes to fill out the registration form linked to this event. You will receive an email roughly five minutes later with instructions for accessing your courses.

2. Complete the Courses — Grow your 5G knowledge and skills by completing two free 5G courses taught by industry-leading engineers from Qualcomm Technologies. The courses cover an overview of 5G, how it works, and how it is transforming the way the world operates. Both courses are taught through our eLearning format, so you may learn online and at your own pace.

3. Receive a 5G Introductory-Level Certification — After completing the free training portion of this program, you may sign up for QWA’s 5G Introductory-Level Certification exam that is based on the training portion of this program. If you pass, you will receive a 5G certification from an industry leader! This certification can be used to show employers (including Qualcomm) that you understand the basics of 5G and how it works. While the training outlined above is free, the certification exam, which is optional, costs $29. The exam is conducted in English, consists of 30 questions, and must be taken online.

4. Qualcomm Recruiters Notified upon Passing — If you pass the certification exam, QWA will alert Qualcomm recruiters of the fact that you have received our 5G Introductory-Level Certificate. While this will not guarantee an interview or employment, your internal profile will be tagged as a 5G Introductory-Level Certificate recipient. Recruiters may reach out if they see a good fit for a position, but you are encouraged to apply directly to roles that you are interested and qualified for at https://www.qualcomm.com/company/careers.
