EI's Pratish Patel Earns IPC Trainer Certification
Chicago, Illinois, USA - Electronic Interconnect's President and CEO, Pratish Patel, has earned IPC Trainer Certification, and is authorized by IPC to conduct IPC-A-600 Application Specialist Training, per the globally-recognized IPC standard for the acceptability of printed circuit boards.
The training and certification program is built on a train-the-trainer model. Companies involved in fabrication, assembly, or original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) enroll a representative in a twenty-hour training course at any IPC Licensed IPC-A-600 Certification Center. The training program provides a detailed review of the IPC-A-600 criteria and concludes with a qualifying examination. Those who pass the exam are recognized as "IPC-A-600 Certified IPC Trainers" and receive instructional materials to use in "Application Specialist" training.
