Try your supplier of microsection equipment, they typically have technical support staff that can come to your site and show you proper methods using your product, on your equipment. It is probably the best "free" training you can have. They may not be able to provide you all the experience in determining acceptance criteria but that can indeed show you how to make excellent mounts. Another source depending upon your relations with them, are other fabricators in your area. I have no problem bringing our competitors into our facility and providing them guideance...makes for good business especially when I have a need they can provide.

It looks like IPC 7711/7721 training is not hard to find, but is anyone doing PCB cross-section training alone? Thanks for any guidance.
