Training Programs

Mabbett and Associates is a leader in developing and delivering quality training programs that are tailored to your specific needs, interests and time constraints. Given the complexity and compressed implementation timeframe of the WEEE and RoHS Directives, there are various target audiences that will require specific, customized training. Our WEEE-RoHS trainers are experienced and dynamic, and draw from a wealth of practical and hands-on experience in the electronics industry to provide training programs that are informative, relevant, engaging and – above all – timely.

Management Level Training

Many upper-level managers believe the WEEE and RoHS Directives are simply environmental issues, and can be relegated and solved entirely by that department. Few understand the enormous complexity associated with their implementation, and the urgent need to devote significant resources toward developing a careful and thoughtful implementation plan that involves personnel from throughout the organization. Mabbett & Associates offers customized training events for management-level personnel to help inform them of the complexity and the urgency of the issues related to WEEE and RoHS compliance. We tailor our events to match the needs and levels of expertise of your specific audience.

Department-Specific Training

The WEEE and RoHS Directives present enormous technological challenges associated with finding alternative materials that match the performance and reliability of those traditionally used. But the technical challenges pale in comparison to the logistical challenges presented by these new regulations. Successful implementation of a WEEE and RoHS business plan requires the full involvement of individuals throughout the facility, including: sales and marketing, engineering, quality, procurement and purchasing, legal affairs, design, and accounting. Mabbett & Associates offers function-specific training programs for all the departments that have a role in developing and implementing a compliance roadmap.

Technical Training

The material substitutions required by the RoHS Directive, particularly the ban on traditional tin-lead solder, presents a host of manufacturing challenges that require a great deal of expertise and planning to overcome. Our engineers draw from their expertise in lead-free manufacturing, to offer training programs that cover all aspects of printed wiring board assembly, including: board layout, paste selection, reflow and wave soldering, and reliability inspection.
