COURSE DESCRIPTION
The education and training goal of this program is to improve individual “discrimination” skills; that is, to improve the accuracy of discrimination between “acceptable” or “unacceptable” completed electronic assemblies per the IPC-A-610 series. This program will also teach individuals the reasons for the accept/reject criteria to enhance their motivation and ability to apply the discrimination criteria consistently and correctly.
This course is for students who are currently certified in the IPC-A-610 but need to renew within 6 months before expiration to keep current in the program without interruption. This course provides a thorough review of the document and updated information on policies and program requirements.
