J-STD-001 Module Breakdown

The J-STD-001 is a standardised and industry recognised modular training program that provides both theory and practical solder training for the electronics industries. Each module requires about 8 hours to complete. Depending the company requirements, the course can be taught using either tin/lead or lead-free solder.
IPC Pre-course (mandatory)
IPC Essentials:

  • The IPC Essentials training module covers the essential features of the electronics industry, including its history, the development and practical application of standards, and the importance of certification to you and your company. This 2-hour, online course is divided into 5 sections and includes interactive quizzes to help you master concepts and assess your progress.

IPC Enhanced policies and procedures:

  • The Enhanced Policy and Procedures training module provides an overview of the Policies and Procedures that govern IPC Professional Training and Certification. This module covers restrictions, recertification, testing, and other important information contained in revision 6 of the IPC Policies and Procedures document. It also includes instructions on how to access and use the IPC Online Certification Portal.

Module 5 – Inspection Methodology (optional)
The topics covered in this module are:

  • Hardware Defects Requiring Disposition
  • Inspection Methodology
  • Process Control Requirements
  • Statistical Process Control
  • Wire and Terminal Requirements

  • Conformal Coating and Encapsulation Requirements

Module 6 – Space Addendum (optional) (Pre-requisite - Module 1 PLUS at least 1 of the workmanship modules)

  • Extra requirements for assembly in extreme environment

There is a theory exam at the end of each module. In addition, there are practical workmanship exams at the end of each of the optional modules 2, 3 and 4. On the next page are details of the workmanship board that the students complete if they are doing modules 3 and/or 4. At the end of module 5 there is a practical assessment of defects on populated boards provided. If modules 1, 2, 3 and 4 are all completed, then the theory side of module 5 is deemed to have been successfully completed and only the practical assessment is required.
