IPC Announces Two New Courses to Enhance Electronics Manufacturing Excellence
December 3, 2024 | IPCEstimated reading time: 1 minute
IPC is excited to announce the launch of two new courses designed to optimize electronics manufacturing processes: "Ensuring Excellence: IPC-J-STD-001 Process Optimization" and "Ensuring Excellence: IPC-A-610 Process Optimization." These courses equip technicians and engineers with the standards-based knowledge, troubleshooting skills, and process control expertise to meet the acceptability criteria outlined in the IPC-A-610 and J-STD-001 standards.
Ensuring Excellence: IPC-A-610 Process Optimization provides practical guidance on integrating standard requirements into your assembly operations to ensure quality and compliance. Participants learn how to identify, troubleshoot, and remedy issues in the assembly process to ensure adherence to IPC-A-610 standards.
Ensuring Excellence: IPC-J-STD-001 Process Optimization delivers targeted insights to help you align your processes to meet the criteria in J-STD-001. Participants will learn how to establish process controls, materials handling protocols, and soldering techniques to reduce variability and boost product reliability and quality.
Both courses are structured into detailed modules that cover various aspects of electronics manufacturing, from material selection and soldering to ESD control and mechanical assembly. The courses include interactive elements such as quizzes and videos, making learning engaging and effective.
Carlos Plaza, IPC’s senior director of Education, stated, "These new offerings exemplify IPC's commitment to continuously improving our industry's training and standards. Equipping professionals with necessary tools and knowledge ensures that quality and excellence remain at the forefront of electronics manufacturing."
The courses are available on the IPC EDGE Learning Management System, providing participants easy access to comprehensive resources and support. Upon successful completion, participants will receive a Certificate of Completion, demonstrating their proficiency and commitment to upholding industry standards.
