Course Description

A CSE has the knowledge and skills necessary to proficiently perform a specific IPC standard or group of standards, but does not teach or study IPC standards. As a CSE, you may provide direct support to your company as a subject specialist on the IPC-A-620, working with a variety of functions and providing critical interpretation assistance of the standards, without the requirements imposed on previous IPC Instructor Certifications. The IPC-A-620 Certified Standards Expert (CSE) Training and Certification Course is a rigorous four (4) day paragraph-by-paragraph study of the IPC-A-620 Standard.
