The current shortage of embedded engineers has given rise to the urgent need for more training in this field. Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the independent administrative body Information-Technology Promotion Agency (IPA) have also been working to address this skill shortage through activities related to the education of embedded engineers including the formulation of the Embedded Technology Skill Standards (ETSS).
Four Link Systems' Embedded System Engineer Training Program complies with the ETSS as well as specifying and systematizing the technical skills required in the automobile/ onboard equipment and home information appliance markets.
The program therefore makes it possible to train work-ready engineers equipped with the technical skills demanded of both of these markets in a short period of time, as well as facilitating the effective use of
human resources by pinpointing engineer skills.

The Embedded Technical Skill Standards (ETSS) are intended to specify and systematize the skills required for embedded software development in order to provide an effective benchmark (common standard) for the HR development and application of embedded software developers. |

The curriculum of EL-12 overlaps with that of EI-13 so it is omitted for those who have already taken the ITRON course. In this case, a written examination is held for the omitted subject. |
