|
The IPC/WHMA-A-620 is the most widely used inspection specification for the cable and wire harness assembly industry. It contains accept/reject criteria as well as hands-on procedures. Use the IPC/WHMA-A-620 to ensure the quality of cable and wire harness assemblies.
This is a comprehensive, 3-day, lecture and exam course that teaches students the accept/reject criteria in the IPC-A-620, for all three classes of cable and wire harness assembly. There is an additional day of training added for the Certified IPC Instructor which covers training the trainer, and responsibilities of the Instructor.
The program for Certified IPC Specialists is divided into 8 Modules each covering a different area of cable and harness assembly. Testing for this program for IPC Specialists is all OPEN BOOK exam. Students must score a 70% or better on each module. Upon successful completion students will receive an Official IPC Certification valid for 2 years.
The program for Certified IPC Instructor- As part of the requirements for instructor certification, students will have added instruction on conducting a training class, how to set up a class in the IPC Portal, creating an invoice, and all other elements necessary for the success of the Instructor. Instructors must score an 80% or better and no single score less than 70%. Upon successful completion Instructors will receive an Official IPC Certification valid for 2 years as well as a set of Instructional materials necessary for conducting Certified IPC Specialist Training.
