Effective Uses of Solder Training Kits


Solder training kits are used for a variety of reasons. The greatest reason these kits are purchased is for the purposes of training soldering technicians in the art of soldering. The second greatest use to for verifying the skill level of potential new hires in soldering and confirming their skill level.

Soldering technicians use solder training kits for training and certifying and re-certifying. If the soldering technician is IPC certified then a soldering kit will be used for the initial certification. This means that for either the IPC-J-STD-001 certification or for the IPC 7711/21 certification these soldering kits are used to verifying soldering skills for the instructor. After initial certification then once every 2 years these same soldering kits need to be used to re-certify the skill level of the technician. Internal certification programs wither based on the IPC program or not require solder training kits in order to verify the skills of the soldering techs as part of an internal training program.
