ESDA Principles of ESD Control is an excellent introductory-level ESD training program developed in partnership with the ESD Association (ESDA). The course explains step-by-step the importance of controlling static in your workplace, how static occurs, and how to protect against discharge that can damage static-sensitive electronic components and assemblies. The course content can be tailored to meet the specific requirements of your ESD control program.

This comprehensive ESD training course can benefit any front line personnel who must deal with ESD sensitive parts in the workplace, including operators, assemblers, and material handlers, as well as technicians, engineers, supervisors, and managers.

Tailor Your ESD Training

Industry standards including ANSI/ESDA S20.20 call for an effective ESD control program that includes initial and recurrent ESD awareness training for all personnel who might come into contact with ESD sensitive items, and for the maintenance of complete training records. S20.20 also allows for the tailoring of your ESD control program to meet specific application needs.

ESDA Principles of ESD Control is a comprehensive computer-delivered program that not only meets standards requirements for ESD training and training records, but also provides the option to tailor ESD training content to match your S20.20 tailored ESD control program. Your ESD experts are able to select appropriate content for your company location, consistent with your products, procedures and training plan, and we will tailor the course to deliver that content, and the matching testing material.
