We say Hand Soldering Certification is 75 percent hands on. That is easy to print and harder to build.

We have trained more than 300,000 people in electronics manufacturing.

The question we still get asked most is which IPC certification a given role actually needs.

So we wrote it down. All four levels, and the job each one is built for:

The wrong stripper notch nicks the strands, weak tinning leaves them loose, and you don't catch it until it fails down the line.

This is the kind of thing we cover in Hand Soldering Certification, built around what your team actually solders. 👇

That's Leo Lambert on the iron, our VP and Technical Director. A lot of people in this industry learned to solder from him.

He's soldering a wire to a pierced terminal here. Looks simple, but most of the defects on this joint show up before the solder even touches it.

A crimp is a cold weld. No shiny bead tells you it worked.

Most of what this image shows, you can catch by eye. Crimp height and pull strength you cannot.

Who owns crimp height verification on your floor, the operator or QA?

24 locations across North America. One is probably near your team.

And when it is easier, we bring the certification to your floor. Same standard either way.

Hand soldering is a hands-on skill. You learn it under an instructor's eye, technique corrected as you go.

Inspection looks at the product. An audit looks at how it was built.

A build can pass acceptance while the process behind it has no documented material verification.

Will humanoid robots eventually take over hand soldering on the factory floor? We looked at the current state of robotics and why human precision still holds its ground in complex assemblies.

High-speed machines can't validate everything.

Aerospace, defense, & medical assemblies demand precision manual soldering to strict J-STD-001 & IPC-A-610 standards.

Protect your reliability with EPTAC’s 75% hands-on certification.
