Quebec, Canada, which will be held November 9th and 10th 2004 at the
Four Point Sheraton, Montreal Airport - Cote de Liesse.
The symposium will benefit both board designers and others involved in
the electronics manufacturing supply chain. Whether you are in
engineering, manufacturing or design, come and learn how successful
products result from successful design.
An Off-Site Applied Training on DfM, (Design for Manufacture) is
scheduled to take place on Tuesday, November 11 at a leading IMS/PCB
company. This interactive, half-day workshop is intense! Packed with
multiple topics, lectures, a panel discuss and a related facility tour.
You'll be wired! For more information or to register, please visit our

CID Workshop/Exam November 11-13, 2004

Time: 8:30am to 5:00 pm
Four Point Sheraton Hotel, Montreal Airport, Cote de Liesse.
IPC Designer Certification is a powerful tool in promoting your role to
everyone involved in the production of printed circuit boards and
assemblies.
This program assesses a designer's knowledge of how to transform a
schematic into a reliable rigid PCB design, which can be easily
manufactured, assembled and tested. The IPC Designers Council recognizes
that the most effective designers must have a solid foundation in PCB
fabrication and assembly. The certification test is based on several
critical IPC documents that link design principles to the end product
use of the printed circuit assembly. Designers may purchase study
materials and prepare on their own or enroll in a two-day IPC Designer
Certification Preparation workshop. All designer certification testing
is done on-site at a workshop location the day after a course concludes.
Individuals who do not feel prepared to take the test immediately after
the training may choose to keep their exam voucher and take the test at
a later date. The workshop training provides an in-depth view of the
principles contained in the examination and is strongly recommended for
anyone interested in obtaining the certification
The Advanced Module covers forty key objectives beyond the CID.
Participants who successfully complete the exam are awarded the CID+
designation. The Advanced Certification, (CID+) is open to anyone
possessing a valid CID credential. It is recommended for designers with
at least three to five years of experience designing PCBs. The format is
similar to the CID course, where a participant can choose to purchase
study materials and prepare on their own for the examination. The
preferred (and highly recommended) option, though, is to attend the
two-day workshop with the exam administered on-site on the third day. A
participant may also keep the exam voucher and take the test at a later
date.
Certification Workshop Price:
$595 IPC and Designer Council Members $795 Non-members
The workshop package fee includes all study materials, the two day
Preparation Workshop and an exam voucher which will be sent to you with
along with hotel information and directions as soon as IPC receives your
registration form and payment. The fee also includes coffee breaks and
refreshments. Participants are on their own for lunch.
