After your employees are certified to this specification, they will be certified to teach and certify individuals in the IPC-610 standard.

- IPC-A-610 WORKER PROFICIENCY CERTIFICATION
This course is designed to help electronic manufacturers achieve the highest quality, highest productivity, and most cost-effective production by ensuring their workers can correctly apply the acceptability criteria of IPC-610.
The education and training goal of this program is to improve individual "discrimination" skills, i.e., to improve accuracy of discrimination between an "acceptable" or "non-conforming" electronic assembly per the IPC-610 series. This program will also teach individuals the reasons for the accept/reject criteria to enhance their motivation and ability to consistently and correctly apply the discrimination criteria.
Throughout this two-day course, employees will be trained to correctly apply the accept/non-conforming criteria for the applicable class of production: (Class 1) Consumer Products; (Class 2) General Industrial; (Class 3) High Reliability.
Master Instructors of the IPC-610 program will guide you through each step of the training program, allowing dedicated time for individual questions. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to identify the purpose and requirements of the IPC-610 training program and your role and responsibility in fulfilling the program. After successfully completing each section of training and passing the open and closed book examinations, you will receive:
- IPC-610 Worker Proficiency Certificate
- IPC-610 Worker Proficiency Handbook
Verion Staffing will issue your certificate, maintain all documentation and notify you when your certification expires. Records are available at your request to assist you in your ISO 9000 or other quality initiatives. The Worker Proficiency certificates carry a retraining date of 2 years after the end of the original training.
