IDEA conducts several Inspection Training Seminars throughout the year that provide orientation and training based on IDEA-STD-1010-A: Acceptability of Electronic Components Distributed in the Open Market and the IDEA-SG-2020 Study Guide for preparation for the IDEA-ICE-3000 Professional Inspector Certification Exam. The curriculum offers both lecture and hands-on experience, particularly in examination and the detection of substandard and counterfeit characteristics utilizing both non-magnification and magnification techniques. Seminars are available in both full-day and half-day formats.

The seminars are recommended for a number of professionals within the electronics industry, including component engineering, procurement, quality assurance, and inspection personnel. Registrants are not required to be candidates for the IDEA-ICE-3000 Exam.

In addition to public training events, IDEA also offers site-specific seminars. For more information about a private class at your location, please email your inquiry to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
