CID+, Enhanced Certified Interconnect Designer programme is a valuable professional credential recognised throughout the electronics industry based on several critical IPC documents that link design principles to the end product use of the printed board assembly.

Although the CID designation is an import recognition for a designer, continuing education becomes necessary to maintain a designer’s effectiveness. This advanced programme covers several key goals beyond CID.

The CID+ programme is designed for those who design PCB as well as those who need knowledge of the IPC Design Standards. The CID+ programme builds on hands-on experience and requires an element of home study prior to the course. The certification deals in detail with some of the key topics already covered in the basic course and approaches the issues of signal integrity and electromagnetic compatibility.
