IPC CID+
Certified Interconnect Designer - Advanced
The CID+ certification provides advanced competencies in Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design beyond the CID certification. Instruction is based on the IPC Specification Tree, with a focus on IPC-2221 and IPC-2222 design specifications. CID+ certification enhances a designer’s knowledge of design considerations to ensure superior electrical and mechanical performance are achieved throughout a product’s intended environment and lifetime, while also ensuring the design is producible and meets workmanship standards with respect to manufacturing, assembly, and test. Prior CID certification is a prerequisite for CID+ certification.
Topics covered in the CID+ online course include:
- Design Considerations
- Printed Board Characteristics
- Electrical Parameters
- Component and Assembly Issues
- Manufacturing Documentation
