For many companies, finding suitable training for their specific manufacturing needs is a difficult chore, akin to fitting a square peg into a round hole. Eventually, the company winds up shaving corners and settles for a partial solution, that often leaves training gaps for employees required to learn the needed manufacturing skills. The necessary skill sets and experience required for qualified instructors often make the implementation of a comprehensive training curriculum very costly, forcing many training centers to narrow the scope of their class offerings. The boiler plate approach used in the many areas of electronic assembly training is often driven by necessity, and may not meet the specific need to focus on the relevant areas pertinent to a customer’s particular manufacturing operation.

One of the core competencies of the EMPF is that it leverages the ability and flexibility to offer a modular approach to training, allowing for modifications and revisions of the course curriculum as new technologies emerge. EMPF employees are often engaged in the development of new electronic and material packaging technologies with the goal of re-educating ourselves on the importance of maintaining flexibility, quality, and cost for our valued partners and customers. Each course is maintained and scrutinized for content, and all our instructors are cross-trained in several relevant technological areas.

For Our engineering and skill related courses, the EMPF’s customized approach is being adopted both in house and on site at customer facilities.  The BOOT CAMP program is a good example of adopting a modularized approach to allow selective portions of the course curriculum to be extracted according to the needs and skill set of the student. Our world Class IPC certification courses offer onsite training that include Master Certified CIT and Module specific CIS training in IPC 610,
J-STD-001, IPC 7711/7721, IPC 600, and CIS 620.

The EMPF’s Electronic Manufacturing training courses are structured to include students from a wide range of disciplines, such as  Program Managers, R&D, Engineering, Quality, and Operations personnel. The course content is geared specifically to meet the many challenges of the ever-changing world of electronics technology. The modular system offers  course content on the basis of the need and skill set of the students.  The customized courses offered at ACI or off-site are taught by top level personnel with extensive experience in their fields, knowledgeable in both the theoretical and practical applications of their trade. Additionally, those who choose training at ACI will benefit from the hands-on experience of working in the state-of-the-art EMPF facility.
