Advanced Rework Technology is a fully independent training organisation which has been presenting IPC training courses since 1989. 

We are a fully accredited IPC training certification centre and can offer both instructor and operator IPC training to:

• IPC-A-610
• J-STD-001
• IPC 7711/7721

Our IPC training is carried out using the latest equipment for soldering and rework of printed circuit boards. As independent consultants we can offer unbiased advice regarding specialised rework equipment.

Our IPC training is carried out in our fully equipped training centre based in Chelmsford, Essex (close to the M11 and Stansted Airport). Training can also be provided in-house and customised to meet the needs of the customer.

The IPC 610 training certification and training course is designed for process engineers, quality engineers, operators and technicians. The IPC 610 course we operate is also for suitable for anyone who is responsible for electronic assemblies.

The following parts are required to be studied: 

• Module 1 Introduction/IPC Professional Policies and Procedures
• Module 2 Foreword, Applicable Documents & Handling

Our IPC 620 training is perfectly designed for instructors/trainers, management personnel, quality supervisors, and engineering and manufacturing supervisors.

The IPC/WHMA-A-620 Trainer program is a comprehensive certification programme covering the accept/reject criteria for Cable/Wires and Crimping etc.

• Polices and Procedures

Advanced Rework Technology is the longest running IPC certification centre in UK and one of the longest running in Europe. We have trained a number of the existing European IPC training centres.

We are the only certification centre in the UK to offer the certification training for the IPC/WHMA-A-620 space addendum, approved by NASA.

Our trainers were all employed in the electronics industry and therefore have extensive knowledge of assembly processes and quality requirements. We are the only UK training centre that sits on IPC task groups (committees) for many of the IPC standards and, therefore have extensive experience of the documents and have contributed material for the documents.

We also sit on the training task groups for the IPC standards and Debbie Wade, one of our Master IPC Trainers, is the chair of the IPC/WHMA-A-620 training committee.

We are the only European training Centre that has been appointed by the IPC to present BETA training courses for newly released standards

ART trainers have won many awards from the IPC for their contribution to the IPC documents & associated training programs

We can provide instructor training or training to candidates who are new to instructing.

Our instructor training courses are aimed at giving the candidate the practical knowledge, skills and demonstration techniques they will need.

You will take an active part in our instructor training and there are expectations for you to write and create a short presentation and practical demonstration.
