IPC-A-600 Specialist (CIS) Certification Training Course

IPC-A-600– Acceptability of Printed Boards is the industry standard set of requirements for bare Printed Wiring Boards (PWBs).

This course covers inspection methodology and requirements of the IPC-A-600. This course is split up into 4 modules:

• Module 1: Introduction
• Module 2: Externally-Observable Characteristics
• Module 3: Internally-Observable Characteristics
• Module 4: Miscellaneous Requirements

Each module is followed by an exam period where the student’s ability to navigate and exercise the document is challenged. The IPC-A-600 training course does not incorporate fabrication techniques.

After a successful course completion, the student will be certified to work under contracts requiring IPC-A-600 commercial hardware Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3.

Certification is portable and is valid for two years. The certificate received by the student is a valid certificate which is traceable to a Master IPC Trainer.

Before certification expires, the student must either return for a retraining class or challenge test.
