COURSE CALENDAR
COURSE DESCRIPTION

The IPC 7711/7721, Rework and Repair of Electronic Assemblies, is the Electronic Industry’s standard for the guidelines on removing and replacing electronic components and repairing circuitry with minimum impact on quality and reliability. This course teaches the IPC recommended techniques, tools, equipment and materials required to perform removal, replacement, and repair operations on Plated Through Hole and Surface Mount Assemblies.

This course requires that attendees are proficient in circuit board soldering activities prior to registration. The IPC 7711/7721 class is about 85% advanced technical hands-on techniques performed and graded in-class. If students have not previously performed soldering activities, additional training will be necessary prior to attending this course. Blackfox recommends our applicable soldering series modules for remedial study.

Participants must be able to read and proficiently interpret the language the class and exams are presented in. Exams are available in limited additional languages upon request. Successful passing of written and practical exams is required to attain certification. Two attempts at any exam are included in tuition paid. Additional charges will apply for more than two exam attempts.
