Which IPC Class Is Right for You?
- IPC J-STD-001: for operators and technicians who hand solder and need to prove they can build to the requirements for soldered electrical and electronic assemblies. J-STD-001 Space adds the addendum for space and high-reliability hardware.
- IPC-A-610: for inspectors, quality staff and engineers who judge whether finished electronic assemblies are acceptable.
- IPC/WHMA-A-620: for anyone who builds or inspects cable and wire harness assemblies.

Initial vs. Recertification Classes
Take an initial class if you are earning an IPC certification for the first time or yours has lapsed. Take a recertification class if you hold a current certification and want to renew it. IPC certifications are valid for two years, and we also teach one-day recertification challenge classes for IPC-A-610 and IPC/WHMA-A-620. Read more in How long does an IPC certification last?.
