Wire Harness Assembly for Operators

This program was developed to meet a significant challenge faced by wire harness manufacturers: Quickly onboarding wire harness assemblers to produce quality products in the ever-shrinking time frames demanded by customers. IPC learning specialists teamed up with industry experts to provide the specific set of knowledge and skills that every operator needs to build quality wires and cable harnesses all contained in as little as 16 hours of training.

This course introduces the key tools, materials, and processes for operators working in wire harness assembly.  Participants can complete the core set of modules to receive their certificate of completion, then select from nine voluntary modules for process-specific training.

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