ROME, NY – The ESD Association and Canada’s Automated Learning Corp. have announced a training course in electrostatic discharge control.

The course is intended for electronics manufacturers who require controls for ESD-sensitive components and assemblies, and can be custom-tailored to meet company-specific ESD control program needs.

ESDA Operator Training is reportedly the first computer-delivered ESD training to provide this content-tailoring feature.

While primarily intended for assembly operators and semiconductor technicians, this comprehensive ESD training course can benefit anyone involved in electronics manufacturing, the companies suggest.

The course features the ALC LearnTech computer-based training system that delivers course content over a corporate network and includes automated registration and record keeping.
