Thank you Tom!

I have added 2 minutes per qestion to each module which brings the
entire program to approximately 26 hours.  Please let me know how
Modules 7-9 go.  

How are you other instructors fairing with the new materials?  How about
610 re-certifications using the D materials?

Hello there Helena,

I'm 3/4th through my first class covering all the modules of the new
610D course.

So far, the time allotted per the IPC charts and real life is different
(no surprise there....)

Modules 1 & 2 - IPC says 2 hours.  Actually took 3-1/4 hours.
Module 3 - IPC says 2 hours. Actually took 1-1/2 hours.
Module 4 - IPC says 2 hours. Actually took 1-3/4 hours.
Module 5 - IPC says 3 hours. Actually took 2 hours.
Module 6 - IPC says 3 hours. Actually took 3-1/2 hours.
Module 7 - that's where we're at today - will be able to give you this
plus modules 8 and 9 tomorrow afternoon.

Time for each module includes: Slide presentation, time to let
participants do the review questions for the module, time to go over the
review questions, time to take test, grade test, and review test.

By the way - I have found mistakes in the power point presentations
supplied by IPC - I'll be sending a complete report to Jack Crawford
after I've finished this class. So far the participants biggest
complaint has been 'why is the errata sheet for the 610D two and one
half pages long (and in small type to boot..)? Didn't anyone look this
over before they printed it?'

Tom


PS - I just received my revision D J-STD-001 training material - I sure
hope it's in better shape than the 610D.

Subject: [TN] IPC-A-610D Training Duration?

Hello TechNet IPC Instructors,

I'm preparing to instruct/certify employees utilizing the new IPC-A-610D
CIS materials.  For those of you who have already started certifying
with the new materials, approximately how long have the different
modules taken you?  The CIS course syllabus has the duration of each
module with the total course (if taken) equal to 20 hours.  Have you
found that the schedule (including exams) as stated is approximately
correct?  Have you experienced any glitches along the way that you can
share with your fellow instructors?  I'd appreciate any words of wisdom.

Thank You and Regards,
Helena Pasquito
