This professional development program provides objective evaluation of core competencies in PCB design, based upon industry standards rather than specifications of just one company.

The course improves and evaluates technical knowledge on how to make an electrical description of an electrical circuit into a PCB design that can be manufactured, assembled and tested.

IPC Designer Certification is not just for designers. Many professionals in supporting industries are being certified: electrical and mechanical engineers, PCB fabrication engineers, assembly techs, manufacturing engineers and parts engineers. Certification can be a valuable step in a person’s career.

The IPC Designer Certification Program builds on hands-on experience and requires an element of home study prior to the course; at least one month is recommended. The qualification is recognised internationally and hence a high degree of competency is required to be demonstrated.
