Course Description
Those entering the electronic assembly industry must be certified as IPC trainers in different IPC specifications. Certified IPC Trainer Programs are intended for that purpose. The IPC-A-610 Certified IPC Trainer (CIT) Training and Certification Course is a comprehensive four (4) day high intensity paragraph-by-paraphrase review of the IPC-A-610 Standard and a review of basic instructor skills.
Certification
At the end of the Course, students will be required to take open and closed book written examinations. Students who complete this course are authorized to conduct the Certified IPC Specialist (CIS) course for two years and can receive an IPC-A-610 Certified IPC Trainer (CIT) Certification. Students who have previously attained their Certified IPC Trainer (CIT) certification within the last two years may take a relevant Recertification course/training.
