News

10 August 2016 News

IPC has launched a new learning management system, IPC Edge. This online learning platform is designed to deliver the education needed to acquire and develop the competitive skills necessary to excel in the electronics industry. Through white papers, webinars, IPC standards, skill development and foundation courses, it aims to give users the flexibility to learn the skills needed to advance their careers and improve the industry.

IPC Edge consists of dozens of IPC’s most popular courses, and the library will continue to grow with additional courses added regularly. From entry level personnel to executives, users will be provided with knowledge that will support learning goals that can be applied directly to their work. This includes preparation for CIS (Certified IPC Specialist) certification, the most recognised certification from IPC in the electronics industry. Users will receive up-to-date information on compliance and regulatory issues, as well as highlights on the latest revisions and updates to IPC’s most popular standards.

From skill development, operator training and technical knowledge, to certification and professional development, IPC Edge covers topics including electrostatic discharge (ESD), control for electronics assembly, introduction to hand soldering, FOD prevention in electronics assembly, surface-mount solder joint quality standards, counterfeit components, component identification, and many others.

IPC Edge is available online 24/7 and can be accessed via desktop, laptop or tablet. Users will be able to purchase individual courses, or managers and trainers can purchase course vouchers for employees or students to redeem and complete assigned coursework and exams. Once an exam is completed, users can quickly download and print a certificate of completion. Courses will also be available through IPC’s global network of training centres.
