IPC-6012 Specialist

If you are looking for a comprehensive program that will develop your understanding of design, specifications, fabrication and inspection of printed circuit boards (PCBs), this is the certification for you. The IPC-6012 “Qualification and Performance Specification for Rigid Printed Boards”, specification establishes and defines the quali­fication and performance requirements for the fabrication of rigid printed boards.

This 4-day lectured course is a comprehensive, operator-level certification that teaches the requirements for design, fabrication and inspection of rigid printed boards. Based heavily on IPC-6012 with supporting documentation from IPC-A-600 “The Acceptability of Printed Boards”, this certification is a great asset for designers, manufacturing and quality engineers, purchasing agents, managers and supervisors, fabricators, board shop auditors, and anyone recommending, inspecting, or specifying printed circuit boards.
