The Program:

The acceptability of electronic assemblies is the most widely used standard published by the IPC. It maintains an international reputation as the source for end product acceptance criteria for the consumer and high reliability printed wiring assemblies.

This is an industry-consensus program that includes training, certification and instructional materials based on the J-STD-001 assembly standards and criteria. This certification will demonstrate your commitment to customer requirements and assists any company dedicated to ISO-9000 or other quality assurance initiatives as the J-STD-001 is a certified training program relying on ANSI standards.

This training and certification are highly recognized throughout the electronics industry. Thousands of individuals have been trained and certified as J-STD-001 Class “A” Instructors in the first five years of the program. The IPC J-STD-001 Training and Certification provides instructors with high-quality materials and detailed instructional plans for training operators.

The J-STD-001 training and certification program has two tiers of instruction. Instructor candidates are sent by their parent companies to receive intensive training on the J-STD-001 from an IPC-approved certification center. Candidates are certified once they complete their course of study and pass the certification examination. If they feel they do not need the training course, candidates may opt to take a “challenge test” administered by one of the certification centers. Certified instructors are provided instructional materials for training workers in a 24-hour Worker Proficiency training program. Instructors are considered certified for two years after the course completion date. They must then re-certify at an IPC-approved certification site.

What Materials do I Receive While Taking Part in IPC J STD-001 Class?
