IPC training courses lead to the issuance of the relevant certification (Certified IPC Trainer, Certified Standards Expert, or Certified IPC Specialist, depending on the training level selected), which is recognized worldwide within the industry in which one operates, not only for the individual participant but also for their company.
As a Certified Training Center, GESTLABS offers excellence in IPC-branded training courses. Our training staff not only hold the “Master IPC Trainer” qualification, but are first and foremost process specialists with years of direct field experience. This dual nature allows us to combine the rigor of international standards with a practical, hands-on perspective, essential for tackling the everyday challenges of electronics manufacturing.
The courses follow a standardized program, divided into several modules, culminating in a final exam. The training sessions, and the resulting certification, give participants recognition and value acknowledged by all players operating within the electronics industry. The program provides for the certification to expire 2 years after its issue date, with the option to proceed with its renewal.
The courses are organized directly by GESTLABS, which supports clients in selecting the most suitable path for the professional roles to be trained and for company objectives. Once the training plan has been defined, the sessions are held by GESTLABS instructors who, in addition to being certified as “Master IPC Trainer,” are process specialists with many years of field experience. Depending on the type of course, it is possible to choose the training level best suited to your needs from those listed below.
CITs can be:
Employees of companies who train only within their own company.
Faculty members of educational and training institutions, such as technical institutes or vocational schools.
Members of an authorized training center when that person has not yet met the criteria to become an MIT.
Independent consultants working with a variety of companies.
Trainers of CIS or CID courses for any organization wishing to provide such training, in accordance with the policies and procedures defined by IPC.
The Certified Standards Expert (CSE) is a professional with a high level of knowledge and understanding of a specific IPC standard or group of standards. The role of the CSE can vary depending on the organization.
CIS training and certification are suitable for individual personnel who will benefit from the practical application of the criteria in a standard. Line operators, production engineers, and quality engineers will find this training and certification useful for their expertise in the electronics industry.
