Training destined for persons
This technical education holds the most benefit for PCB designers with at least 2 years of hands-on experience. Because Designer Certification builds a foundation in design decision-making and practical application of IPC standards, the program is open to all engineering staff and managers with interest in design: Sales, Purchasing, R&D, Quality, and Test.
Advantages for participants
Certification Materials
Two full days of classroom instruction led by an IPC-qualified instructor
Course materials will be sent when registration is confirmed
CID course materials:
IPC-2221, Standard on Printed Board Design
IPC-2222, Sectional Standard on Rigid Organic Printed Boards
IPC-DRM-18, Desktop Reference Manual for Components
CID Study Guide, provides of framework for application of IPC standards in design decision-making
