IPC has released the training and certification programmes for revision E of IPC-A-610 ‘Acceptability of Electronics Assemblies’ and J-STD-001 ‘Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies’.
Each standard supports a related training and certification course for trainers and for application specialists, leading to the certified IPC trainer (CIT) and certified IPC application specialist (CIS) credentials respectively.
IPC certification provides companies with a standardised industry-approved programme for staff training that is based on more than 15 years of experience as well as comments from users. As IPC Director of Certification Jack Crawford explains, many original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) recognise IPC certification and use it as a selection factor when evaluating electronics manufacturing services (EMS) companies. Currently, there are more than 42 000 certified application specialists and 6400 certified trainers worldwide for IPC-A-610 and J-STD-001 combined.
The CIT designation is bestowed after successful completion of a certification exam at the end of the training. In turn, CITs receive instructional materials for training application specialists in modular training programmes. The modular approach helps companies control their employee development costs by providing training in only the subject matter related to an individual’s work assignments.
