Rob: I had to deal with this myself, and I know of two options: 1) Kulicke & Soffa (K&S) Industries runs a Wire Bond Technology course (3 days) held in Willow Grove, PA. I took this course but was disappointed. The course was billed as lecture and lab, but worked out to be lecture only. K&S admitted the error and is working to correct the problem. I believe that they are due to rerun the course in December. Contact 1-800-422-5542 (Service and Training). 2) National Training Center for Microelectronics (Bethlehem, PA) also runs courses. They do a 5 day operator certification course, but were talking about a shorter course for Process Engineers. Contact Thomas Green at 610-861-4128 or [log in to unmask] I haven't been there so I cannot rate it. If you find others, let us know.
