The CIS program utilizes the images in the IPC-A-610 inspection document to provide visual accept/reject criteria examples for all three classes of assembly production (Tin/Lead and Lead Free). This course is modularized to allow for maximum flexibility in meeting individuals training needs. The modules include the following topics general information, foreword, applicable documents, handling, soldering and high voltage, component damage & PCBAs, terminals connections, through-hole technology and jumper wires, surface mount assemblies & jumper wires, and hardware. Upon completion of this class, students will be familiar with the IPC-A-610 acceptability criteria for all three classes of products and be able to apply this criterion to internal quality functions. An open book exam is required after each module. Recertification is required every 2 years.
This course utilizes the images in the IPC-A-600 document to provide visual accept/reject criteria examples for all three classes of bare board fabrication and inspection. The IPC-A-600, “The Acceptability of Printed Boards”, describes the preferred, acceptable, and nonconforming conditions that are either externally or internally observable on printed boards. The CIT program will familiarize the student with IPC-A-600 “Acceptability of Printed Boards” document to include Introduction and Cleanliness Testing, Externally Observable Characteristics, Internally Observable Characteristics and Miscellaneous Flexible and Rigid-Flex Printed Boards, and Metal Core and Flush Printed Boards. Open book and closed book exams are required. Recertification is required every 2 years.
This program provides a comprehensive operator certification that teaches inspection and assembly criteria for all three classes of cable and wire harness assembly. This course is modularized to allow for maximum flexibility in meeting individual training needs. This training will familiarize the student with IPC/WHMA-A-620 “Requirements and Acceptance for Cable and Harness Assemblies” document to include the general requirements of the specification and related documents, the difference between the classes of product, and define the acceptance criteria for various conditions. An open book exam is required after each Module. Recertification is required every 2 years.

This course provides training for operators who will build or inspect hardware to NASA-STD-8739.1, Polymeric Applications. Topics include staking, conformal coating, potting, and bonding. Practical exercises include demonstrating inspection techniques for these polymeric material applications and demonstration of students’ competency for using these techniques in a manner that produces hardware that meets the requirements of the standard. STI has SMA-Sponsored Level B instructors to the NASA-STD-8739.1. Note: NASA-STD-8739.6 “Implementation Requirements for NASA Approved Workmanship Standards” states:
5.2.2 SMA-Sponsored Level B instructors may train operators and inspectors inside and outside of their own organization as well as U.S. government civil service personnel
(NASA and non-NASA). ATTN: Retraining courses require an eye exam to be submitted prior to attending class. To participate in an Operator/Inspector retraining class the student must have previously completed the Initial training and have a current certification.
This retraining course provides instruction to those who are responsible for building or inspecting electrical cables and harnesses per NASA-STD-8739.4, Crimping, Interconnecting Cables, Harnesses, and Wiring. Topics include wire and cable preparation, connector contact preparation and installation into connectors, crimp ring and backshell installation, installation of splices, installation of grounding wires, harness manufacturing techniques, quality control practices, and quality assurance measurements. All of the requirements contained in the standard are discussed. STI has SMA-Sponsored Level B instructors to the NASA-STD-8739,4. Note: NASA-STD-8739.6 “Implementation Requirements for NASA Approved Workmanship Standards” it states: 5.2.2 SMA-Sponsored Level B instructors may train operators and inspectors inside and outside of their own organization as well as U.S. government civil service personnel (NASA and non-NASA).
ATTN: Retraining courses require an eye exam to be submitted prior to attending class. To participate in an Operator/Inspector retraining class the student must have previously completed the Initial training and have a current certification.
