Companies in the electronic interconnect industry are continually subject to changes, innovations and trends. The one thing that they have in common is the set of worldwide guidelines for the electronic inter-connect industry, the so-called IPC certifications. These certifications and re-certifications are the standards for the electronic inter-connect industry, ensuring that the IPC regulations and guidelines are taught worldwide and that employees apply the agreed standards.

Regularly the wishes and requirements of the individual customer may deviate from the standards. What happens in education then? Many educational institutes claim that they will customise their teaching in such cases, but in reality this hardly actually happens. PIEK takes a different approach and has been successful with it for over 50 years. The PIEK principle is that the individual customer’s or employee’s wishes and requirements are the starting point for everything in its courses. PIEK listens to its customers and translates the needs into a tailored educational or certification course programme. This approach has led to many long-lasting partnerships.

The following questions / problems are always discussed at the start of a course:

  • Which exact training is needed or preferred?
  • Does the customer require specific certifications or re-certifications?
  • At which level are the participants active?
  • Which soldering equipment and any other tools are required?
  • Which products does the organisation of the participant manufacture or assemble?
  • Which components are used in the processes, through hole, SMD, BGA assembly?
  • Which quality problems are recognized?
  • Which soldering material is used in the field of unleaded, leaded and nitrogen?

PIEK goes even further than this:

  • Do you work with specific soldering and/or inspection equipment and material? If PIEK does not use this yet, please let us know. In case of a long-standing relationship PIEK will always invest to meet your requirements.
  • Are there any quality standards within your organisation that you have developed yourself and would you like to have all your employees trained to these standards? PIEK can integrate your own quality standards in the educational programme concerned.

For PIEK customisation means incorporating the customer’s wishes and requirements. For PIEK customisation is therefore the standard.
