Course Overview
Taught by experienced and knowledgeable industry professionals, the IPC CID+ training program helps to enhance your existing knowledge while developing your understanding of the wider electronic and manufacturing processes associated with PCB design. IPC CID+ aims to ensure that you are up-to-date with the latest technologies, processes and industry requirements. The qualification is not restricted to specific software users and can be applied to a range of specialisms within the PCB and electronic design industry.
Course Content
IPC CID+ reinforces the knowledge and experience held by individuals operating within the PCB design industry. This intensive training program provides delegates with a greater understanding of the PCB development processes, the implications for testing and manufacture as well as the industry specifications. The program assesses a designer's knowledge of transforming a schematic into a PCB design that can be easily manufactured, assembled and tested in the most cost efficient, profitable and reliable manner.
The key areas include:
- Board Material Properties
- Assembly Test Implementation
- Design Standards to Meet Fabrication and Assembly Goals
- Quality Life-cycle Tracking
- Panelisation Strategy for Manufacturing Processes
- Electrical Clearance and Dielectric Spacing
- General Principles of Impedance Control
- Component Comparison Between Area and Peripheral Arrays
- Component Mounting Strategies
- Material List Development
- Documentation to Facilitate Design to Fabrication Interface
Course Pre-requisites
You must have previously completed the IPC CID qualification. It is expected that delegates should be fully familiar with the course material before attending and have undertaken at least 30 hours of independent study prior to the start of the course. The course provides a much more comprehensive look at electronic design (including hi-speed design) than the CID course and requires a much greater level of self-study.
Upon successful completion of the course and passing of the exam, you will receive a certificate that is recognised throughout the industry, giving you additional credentials to your technical expertise and a strong endorsement of your skills and experience.
