1. July: ESD workshop with "The Dream Team". Early Bird June 30.

Attend the CDM and Class 0 ESD Highly Interactive Hands-On
Workshop July 26 and 27, 2006 in Gloucester, MA.

The Industry trend towards extensive use of ultra-sensitive components (Class 0) and the wide spread lack of CDM understanding are brewing the "Perfect ESD Storm"! It is no longer business as usual and it can take up to two years to prepare. Join the "ESD Dream Team" for a highly interactive workshop and learn why this ESD storm is inevitable and how to prepare for it.

4. Recent updates to LearnTech courses.

Over the past few months, we have updated several courses:

5. Summer releases: Chinese language ESD Control and English Class 0.
