Advanced Rework Technology (ART) - IPC Training, IPC 610, Solder Training, Rework Training

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 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 IPC 610 course we run is now modularised. It is not necessary to have training on the entire syllabus.

The following parts are required to be studied: 

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

We can provide solder training that is relevant to anybody involved in the soldered electronic assemblies industry.

Our solder training involves the J-STD-001 certified trainer programme. Once the solder training programme is complete, you will be awarded the J-STD-001 trainer certificate.

These certificates are valid for 2 years after the course is completed and you will be given the right training materials to carry out the application specialist course.

Our rework training encompasses rework, modification and repairs of electronic assemblies.

The IPC 7711 rework training is a comprehensive certification programme that provides companies with a unilateral method of training their staff to the right requirements of the IPC 7711 rework training programme.

As part of our IPC certification centre, training programmes we have the following courses available for your requirements:

• IPC-A-610 - acceptability of electronic assemblies
• IPC-J-STD-001 - manual soldering of electrical and electronic assemblies
• IPC-7711/7721 - repair, rework and modification of electronic assemblies
• IPC-WHMA-620 - requirements and acceptance for cable and wire harness assemblies

As an IPC certification centre, we can offer IPC training to you at the application specialist level and certified trainer level. 

We offer practical training in the form of SMD rework, BGA rework and lead free soldering.

We can offer cable and wire harness assemblies certification training which provides a comprehensive programme that is ideal for the following:

• Manufacturing supervisors
• Instructors and trainers
• Management
• Quality supervisors

On the completion of our cable and wire harness assemblies certification training, you will receive the IPC/WHMA-A-A-620 trainer certificate which is valid for 2 years.

Once the certificate is given, you will be provided with all the right training materials.  This will allow you to go further towards the application specialist training courses.

We have new hand soldering IPC certified course that we can provide.

IPC hand soldering for through-hole components DVD- 42/43C certification which involves practical and theoretical aims giving the candidates a further understanding of the hand soldering techniques for through-hole components.

The objectives of our hand soldering programmes are:

• Preparation
• Materials
• Soldering Procedures
• Cleaning
• Workmanship Standards

For more info on hand soldering for through-hole components DVD-42/43C, please contact us.

 

We can now provide an IPC lead free hand soldering DVD 45C certification programme. This training is a practical and theoretical course aimed at giving clients a better knowledge of hand soldering for lead free alloys.

Our IPC lead free hand soldering DVD 45C courses are ideal for assembly operators and inspectors. They have the following objectives for the candidate:

• Preparation
• Materials Solder Alloys / Flux
• Soldering Procedures
• Rework Procedures
• Visual Acceptance to IPC –A-610

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.
