Global Excellence in PCB Design: The Global Electronics Association Expands to Italy
August 7, 2025 | Global Electronics AssociationEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
In today's rapidly evolving electronics industry, printed circuit boards (PCBs) serve as the critical backbone influencing the success, reliability, and time-to-market of countless products. Recognizing this essential role, the Global Electronics Association (formerly IPC), a worldwide leader in electronics standards, certification, and education, is now expanding its internationally acclaimed PCB design training to Italy.
Why The Global Electronics Association?
With over 65 years of industry leadership, the Global Electronics Association supports more than 3,000 companies across the globe by setting international standards and providing authoritative training programs. Covering the entire electronics lifecycle—from design to assembly—the Association's courses have become the gold standard for electronics professionals everywhere. Now, these courses have been tailored specifically for the dynamic Italian market, delivered entirely in Italian by IPC-certified local instructors.
Global Expertise, Local Delivery
The courses, Introduction to PCB Design I and II, have already earned international recognition. Now, delivered live in Italian, these interactive sessions combine global best practices with local relevance. Each course features real-world case studies, immediate practical applications, and real-time Q&A, ensuring maximum engagement and relevance for Italian professionals.
- Introduction to PCB Design I (24 hours): Led by veteran IPC-certified instructor Pietro Vergine, who brings over 30 years of industry expertise, this foundational course covers schematic capture, component library creation, and industry-standard IPC-compliant documentation practices.
- Introduction to PCB Design II (32 hours): This advanced course dives into complex topics such as multi-layer PCB layout, rigid-flex design, signal integrity, transmission lines, and comprehensive documentation. Participants will emerge well-equipped to handle sophisticated, production-ready PCB projects.
Italy’s Vital Electronics Market Opportunity
Italy’s electronics industries—ranging from energy, automotive, motorcycle manufacturing, and medical devices to aerospace, defense, telecommunications, IoT, industrial electronics, and consumer electronics—are set to experience significant PCB market growth by 2030. The Global Electronics Association's targeted courses directly align with these robust industry sectors, preparing professionals to excel in Italy’s thriving "Silicon to Systems" market, a space where advanced components are integrated into fully functional products.
International Standards and Compliance
All courses are anchored in globally recognized IPC standards, including IPC-2152, IPC-2221, IPC-6012, and IPC-7351. This ensures Italian professionals master universally accepted best practices, critical for maintaining international competitiveness.
Empowering Italian Professionals and Businesses
By offering this specialized training entirely in Italian, the Global Electronics Association underscores its commitment to Italy’s burgeoning electronics industry. Graduates not only enhance their career opportunities but frequently proceed to achieve internationally recognized CID and CID+ certifications.
