IPC 7711/7721 Instructor Recertification

IPC's Rework, Repair and Modification training and Certification Program using IPC-7711 and IPC-7721 documents is the first formal training program from IPC specifically designed for component rework and bare board repair. This is IPC's most comprehensive, hands on training program with more than half of the course content spent in lab. This is an advanced course where the students will be evaluated on both lab and course work.

IPC-7711 & 7721 Instructor course is built on a train-the-trainer model. Upon completion of the course, students will know the technical guidelines of IPC-7711 and 7721 and have demonstrated the proficiency necessary to perform rework and repair at the expert level. IPC 7711 and 7721 Registered Instructors are formally recognized and certified by IPC and given the instructional materials required to conduct the modularized operator-training program. Prospective students should have experience not only in rework and repair, but ideally in training as well.
