Do you guys think an IPC soldering training can help me in any ways?
----------------------------
Background:
1. I have good soldering skills. I can solder any package you can throw at me, down to 0201/0.35mm CSP, but I've never been introduced to proper IPC training, so basically I can get the jobs done, but not to an internationally accepted quality standard.
2. I'm moving from US to China, and there I may hire people, and I may have to train them to do soldering properly. I will not hire technicians, and I will only hire university grads, or maybe masters grads, so I expect the technician skill level to be not very good.
3. I work exclusively with lead free, ranging from SnBiAg, SAC305 to Sn100e.
4. I need to learn PCB laminate repair and underfill/conformal coating removal, which I have no experience.
--------------------------
It seems like IPC7721/7722 fit my needs, and I may go to an additional BGA module.
The question is, is this necessary? And if so, should I consider CIT over CIS?
