Information about PIEK’s personal certificates and their validity

PIEK has retained the status of an IPC Approved Certification Centre for a number of years and during that time PIEK has worked with its own Master IPC Trainers (MIT) who are all IPC certified. These professionals ensure the competent execution of our training courses according to the current IPC standards. PIEK also applies its own high standards to all training courses provided.
The Master IPC Trainer (MIT) assesses the knowledge and/or competence according to the IPC-A-600, IPC-A-610, IPC-7711/21, ANSI/J-Std-001 and/or IPC-WHMA-A-620 standards or any other additional standards.
