Electronics Assembly for Operators

Quality Electronics Begin with Quality Training

Training new operators quickly and effectively can be a daunting task. That’s why IPC learning specialists teamed up with industry experts to create the Electronics Assembly for Operators course.. This industry-leading multimedia course uses proven educational strategies to provide the job-specific knowledge and skills that every operator needs to build quality boards.

This course introduces the key concepts, tools, materials, and processes that operators need to know to do their best work. Participants can complete the core set of modules to receive their certificate of qualification, then select among nine voluntary modules for process-specific training. After completing this course, participants will be able to employ the correct procedures for building Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCAs) within an electronics manufacturing facility.

Electronics Assembly for Operators is accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board under ANSI/ASTM E2659-18, Standard Practice for Certificate Programs.
