GESTLABS and Alba PCB Announce a Strategic Partnership to Bring IPC Training to Poland

We are proud to announce the launch of a prestigious collaboration between GESTLABS, an officially accredited IPC training centre, and Alba PCB Group, a European leader in the supply of printed circuit boards, to deliver IPC courses directly in Poland.

This initiative aims to meet the growing demand for qualified skills and international certifications from electronic companies operating in Poland, a market experiencing significant industrial and technological growth.

Training Provided by Master IPC Trainers
A distinctive element of this collaboration will be the direct presence of Master IPC Trainers, highly qualified individuals authorized to provide training and certification according to international IPC standards.

The courses will be conducted in English (or with local support, if requested) and will offer a comprehensive, professional training experience that can be immediately applied in production contexts. Each training module will feature:
• Practical and interactive approach, with real examples and focus on industrial cases
• Official IPC material updated to the latest regulatory revision
• Training and certification sessions compliant with globally recognized IPC standards

Which Courses Will Be Offered?
The training program will include, among others:
• IPC-A-610 – Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies
• IPC/WHMA-A-620 – Requirements and Acceptance for Cable and Wire Harness Assemblies
• IPC-7711/7721 – Rework, Repair, and Modification Techniques
• IPC J-STD-001 – Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies
• Customized modules on manual soldering, visual inspection, conformal coating, and SMT production processes

Courses will be available in shared mode, in classes already scheduled on the calendar, or dedicated, upon customer request, at locations in Poland provided by Alba PCB, at our company or at the customer’s premises (for a minimum of 4 participants).

An Opportunity for the Development of the Electronics Supply Chain in Poland
The alliance between GESTLABS and Alba PCB represents a concrete investment in the development of local skills, offering Polish companies the opportunity to:
• Access international excellence training without traveling abroad
• Elevate to the quality standards required by global customers
• Improve competitiveness and the quality of internal processes
