Program Overview
This program offers a comprehensive suite of IPC certification and recertification courses designed to equip students with industry-standard skills in electronics assembly, wiring, and soldering. The IPC 610 courses cover the acceptability of electronic assemblies, including proper handling, ESD requirements, soldering standards, high voltage connections, component installation, and surface mount assembly requirements. The IPC 620 courses focus on cable and wire harness fabrication, training students in crimping, soldering, terminations, connectorization, splicing, coaxial cable assemblies, and high voltage application criteria. The IPC J Standard courses address hand and machine soldering processes, covering safety requirements, ESD awareness, wire and terminal assembly, through-hole and surface mount soldering, and reflow soldering techniques. Each course is available in both initial certification and recertification formats, ensuring professionals can both obtain and maintain their credentials in accordance with IPC industry standards.
