Course overview:
Moving from conventional through-hole soldering to working with surface mount components can be a daunting change. New techniques are required, and new skills must be mastered. This Introduction to Surface Mount Soldering course will teach new people to industry or experienced staff the skills required to soldering these components onto PCBs.
This course will raise the confidence of attendees with the aim of helping businesses ensure a basic level of skill across the team and ensuring costly errors and mistakes are avoided.
This course has been developed by The Electronics Group in line with IPC standards. However, this course is not accredited, delegates will be issued with a Certificate of Attendance.
