BANNOCKBURN, IL – IPC created a new certification for company subject matter experts on IPC standards. The Certified Standards Expert (CSE) will possess a high level of expertise and serve as an in-house expert on IPC standards.

Candidates may pursue CSE certification for six IPC standards: IPC-J-STD-001, IPC-A-600, IPC-A-610, IPC-6012, IPC-7711/21 and IPC/WHMA-A-620.

A CSE is not required to train to maintain certification, unlike a Certified IPC Trainer (CIT).

Upon certification, CSEs are able to navigate the IPC standard efficiently; identify relevant sections of the standard to address specific questions; act as a subject matter expert on all matters related to the standard; and apply the standard to specific company needs.

Certification is valid for two years and is available through IPC’s Licensed Training Centers.

IPC has also shifted the training materials to online-only delivery.
