Overview

There is a lot of misinformation about multithreaded programming and the use of real-time operating system (RTOS) features. Misinformation and programmer inexperience often leads to unreliable multithreading and introduces the possibility for dangerous system failures such as starvation, deadlock, and priority inversion. This course teaches the proper use of RTOS APIs in developing multithreaded software as well as techniques for developing reliable multithreaded program structures without an RTOS at all.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
