The program is available for any full-time university student worldwide, including those pursuing an Associate's, Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD degree.


Qualcomm Technologies' new 5G training university program has increased global access to STEM education. The Qualcomm Wireless Academy (QWA), the company's educational and training branch, will launch the program in the fall of 2021.

More on QWA’s 5G University Training Program
QWA's university program provides students from all over the world with the opportunity to receive 5G training and certification from Qualcomm Technologies' industry-leading engineers.

Normally, this training costs hundreds of dollars per course; however, university students can receive two free QWA 5G training courses. Students who complete their free training may then pay a small fee of $29 to take the company's 5G Introductory-Level Certification exam. Students who pass the exam will receive an official certification from a 5G industry leader.

Students improve their 5G knowledge, skills, and professional portfolios by taking this training and becoming certified by Qualcomm Technologies, and they begin to arm themselves with the tools they need to optimize 5G technology in the workplace.

In addition to receiving 5G training and certification, students in North America may upload their resumes for Qualcomm recruiters to view as part of this program, providing students with a valuable networking opportunity.
