Course Description:
Who? Anyone who is new to the Electronics Industry or if you would just like a quick 2-Day Refresher course.
What? An immersive and comprehensive 5-Day Electronics Assembly course for the new operator.
When? Choose from our 2–Day or 5–Day courses which are typically offered once a quarter to assess new hires/transfers, recent college graduates, or any operators who would like to spend time getting more practice, familiarity of techniques and strengthen their approach to projects in their field or in preparation of the J-STD Workmanship Testing. Operators usually gravitate to 1 of the 3 subfields (Assembly, Rework/Repair or, Wire Harness Assembly).
Where? On-site at our Electronic Workmanship Standards Institute facility. Our staff also gladly accommodates for safely and efficiently conducting class at your facility. Please call to discuss pricing and availability.
Why? Give your operators a chance to learn without the fear of failure at a Certification level.
Recommended: Manual dexterity, patience. Highly recommended if you have little or no soldering background.
