SOLDER (HANDS-ON):
This is a 2-day class for students who would like to learn to solder or to obtain a refresher on the subject of soldering.
This class covers the same basic soldering principles presented in our IPC-A-610 Solder Certification seminar; however the emphasis will be placed on the actual hands-on soldering techniques in lieu of the textbook theoretical concepts, and the students will not receive the IPC-A-610 certification from this training session.
Each student will be provided with a certificate of completion at the end of class.
There is also an IPC-A-610 book available for an additional cost which we highly recommend, as the materials presented are very complete, detailed, and succinct. If you have multiple associates (from one group who work in the same area) that attend our class, for cost savings, we suggest one book, to be used as a reference for the entire group. If the associates are not physically located in the vicinity of each other's work, if they wish, they may purchase a book for each to be kept close to their work station, for their convenient use.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
What is the difference between our "Solder (Hands-On)" and our "IPC-A-610 Solder Certification" Training Classes?
Our IPC-A-610 course is the official IPC-A-610 certification class; however it also includes our own developed additional hands-on solder training segment. It is 4-day seminar, designed to combine the standard IPC-A-610 theories (Classes I, II, and III) with our practical hands-on soldering exercises.
The theories will be learned and reiterated immediately by the related hands-on practices. We strongly feel that the hands-on soldering exercises are valuable as they reinforce the theoretical concepts and provide the students with an opportunity to test what they have studied. Each passing student will be IPC-A-610 Certified and will be provided with a certificate stating such.
Any company that is pursuing ISO-9000 certification should have all assemblers certified to IPC-A-610.
On the other hand, our "Hands-On Solder" training course is a 2-day class, and is designed for individuals who assemble products, which are not required compliance with IPC-A-610 specifications.
This class covers the same basic soldering principles presented in our IPC-A-610 Certification class; however the emphasis will be placed on the actual hands-on soldering techniques in lieu of the textbook theoretical concepts, and the students will not receive the IPC-A-610 certification from this training session.
It is simply intended to introduce & to teach the assemblers, technicians, and engineers the new techniques & best practices of soldering. You will leave this class with enhanced, correct soldering skills!
What if I already solder at work?
If you have not received prior solder training within the past 2 years, we highly recommend that you attend one of these valuable seminars. You will study the latest soldering procedures and new advanced technologies, such as SMT, fine pitch, etc., as well as you will learn the correct methods & best practices for producing fine, acceptable solder connections.
Skolnik Technical is also an active member of the ESD Association.
