Assembly Operator Learning Path

This course introduces the key concepts, tools, materials, and processes that operators need to know to do their best work. Participants can complete the core set of modules to receive their certificate of qualification, then select among nine voluntary modules for process-specific training.

Learn a specific set of knowledge and skills that every operator needs to build quality wires and cable harnesses all contained in as little as 16 hours of training.

In this course, participants will learn how to identify and determine the value of the most common electronic components used in PCB assembly, as well as how to use component markings and assembly documentation to ensure their correct orientation and placement.

You’ll use IPC-A-610 to align quality expectations, reduce rework, satisfy customer requirements, and support reliable, high-quality production.

You’ll use J-STD-001 to make sound process decisions, align quality expectations across teams, reduce rework, and support consistent, high-reliability outcomes.

Learn how to create industry acceptable solder joints for through-hole and surface mount chip and gull wing components. This innovative multimedia course capitalizes on the power of the hear-see-do methodology to equip students with actionable techniques and best practices they can immediately apply on the job. Students will learn key concepts, tools, and techniques, then use the accompanying practice and project boards, available here, to practice and demonstrate their new skills.

This two to four-hour course facilitates mastery of the key concepts required for successful printed circuit board troubleshooting and defect analysis.

This Inspection of Electronic Assemblies: Introduction course trains participants to perform "incoming inspection" using the essential tools, materials, and processes that deliver consistent quality products. Completion of this course delivers a professional level of proficiency in acceptability standards, inspection methods and tools, documentation, and component characteristics. 

This course introduces participants to the causes of ESD and the steps you can take to mitigate its effects when handling, storing or transporting ESD-sensitive components in a manufacturing facility. These preventive measures and their application are based on ANSI/ESD S20.20 and other relevant standards.

This course introduces participants to the causes of Foreign Object Debris (FOD) and the steps you can take to mitigate its effects when handling, storing, or transporting items in a manufacturing facility. After completing this course, you will be able to employ the key tools, materials, and processes designed to prevent and control the effects of FOD within a manufacturing facility.

This course is ideal for operators, technicians, supervisory personnel and other staff members that must consistently and effectively employ the key tools, materials, and processes designed to keep workers safe within a manufacturing facility.
