The CID certification provides core competencies in Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design. 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.
