Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Control For Electronics ----- Live Online Training Class -----

ESD damage not only directly affects the quality & reliability of your products, but also can impact your company’s reputation and bottom line!  As ESD can occur anywhere from the receiving stage of your operations, to manufacturing, testing, shipping, and field handling of circuit boards & components, it is essential that companies implement effective ESD control programs, including proper ESD control training to minimize the risk of ESD damage. Our ESD Control class discusses and studies the correct ESD mitigation and control techniques, in order to prevent failures to ESD-sensitive products.  We dynamically involve the students in their learning, enhancing their knowledge about the subject of ESD, as well as helping them to extend a thorough appreciation for ESD control.

In accordance with ANSI/ESD S20.20, ESD awareness and prevention training shall be provided to all personnel who handle or otherwise come into contact with any ESD sensitive (ESDS) items. Initial training shall be provided before personnel handle ESDS items. The type and frequency of ESD training for personnel shall be defined in the Training Plan. The Training Plan shall include a requirement for maintaining employee training records and shall document where the records are stored. Training methods and the use of specific techniques are at the Organization’s discretion. The training plan shall include the methods used by the Organization to verify trainee comprehension and training adequacy.

Based on the above, to ensure proper and adequate ESD control training for appropriate personnel, for convenience, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, we are pleased to offer to you our "ESD Control for Electronics" 4-hour class.

This class will be continually updated and enhanced, to include new valuable learning concepts / materials, reflecting advanced technologies and constant lessons learned.
