We Teach and Certify in All 6 IPC Training Programs!

All classes are available for both Instructors (CIT) and Operators (CIS) at your facility or one of our locations listed on the schedule below.

IPC-A-600 Nearly everything in the Electronic universe depends on a circuit board. The IPC-A-600 Acceptability of Printed Boards is the industry's most recognized standard for acceptability of circuit boards, and makes a powerful statement to users that a company is serious about continuous quality improvement. This training starts by establishing the importance between the IPC-A-600 and the IPC-6012, Qualification and Performance Specifications for Rigid Boards. Anyone involved in Purchasing, Board Inspection, or specifying circuit board needs, and is seriously interested in technically accurate training should attend this course.

IPC-A-610 The Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies is IPC's most widely used standard with an international reputation as THE source for end product acceptance criteria for consumer and high reliability assemblies. IPC-A-610 is a visual collection of the acceptability requirements for Mechanically Secured Assemblies, Through Hole and Surface Mount Soldered interconnections, and the associated processes to achieve them. This visual standard reflects the requirements of other existing IPC standards. IPC-A-610 certification will demonstrate your company's commitment to customer requirements and will greatly assist any company dedicated to quality assurance initiatives. Anyone who is responsible the quality and reliability of electronic assemblies should consider this comprehensive and technically accurate program.

IPC/WHMA-A-620 The industry's first standard for Cable and Wire Harness Fabrication and Installation. IPC/WHMA-A-620 describes acceptability criteria for crimped, mechanically secured and soldered interconnection and the corresponding lacing or restraining criteria associated with the Wire and Cable Harness Industry. This certification will demonstrate your commitment to customer requirements and greatly facilitates other quality assurance initiatives. Anyone responsible for quality, reliability and integrity of end use Cable or Wire Harness assemblies should attend this in-depth program.

SPACE ADDENDUM AVAILABLE AS AN OPTIONAL ADD-ON!

IPC J-STD-001 The Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies has emerged as the preeminent authority for Electronic Assembly Manufacturing. This standard defines the materials, methods and verification criteria for producing high quality soldered interconnections. This standard emphasizes process control and gives companies all the tools they need to increase employee skills and performance. J-STD recognition sends a strong message to customers that your company is serious about implementing company wide quality assurance initiatives. Anyone responsible for quality and reliability of soldered electronic assemblies should attend this hands-on course.

SPACE ADDENDUM AVAILABLE AS AN OPTIONAL ADD-ON!

IPC 7711/7721 The Printed Circuit board is loaded with expensive components and direct labor, and it does NOT work! There is no starting over, and the choices are limited. IPC's Rework, Repair, and Modification Training offers your company the money saving alternative! This course teaches industry approved techniques on Through Hole and Surface Mount Rework, and Land, Conductor, and Laminate Repair. Clearly the greatest asset of this program can be measured in the dollars saved on restoring expensive electronic assemblies. Anyone responsible for ensuring and maintaining the quality and reliability of your completed assemblies should consider this highly skilled hands-on program.

NEW CERTIFICATION! IPC-6012

This specification covers qualification and performance of rigid printed boards, including single-sided, double-sided, with or without plated-through holes, multilayer with or without blind/buried vias and metal core boards. It addresses final finish and surface plating coating requirements, conductors, holes/vias, frequency of acceptance testing and quality conformance as well as electrical, mechanical and environmental requirements. This program is of value to bare board shop engineers and technicians, as well as PCB assembly supplier quality engineers and material engineers.
