Electronic devices are becoming ever more sensitive to damage from electrostatic discharge events. Companies need employees that have a firm understanding of how charge is generated, how devices can be damaged from static related events, and how to set up effective controls to protect the products that are handled. Many of the current on-line training products are expensive and, in some cases, outdated.

Advanced Static Control Consulting (ASCC) has developed a no charge training program for new and experienced ESD Coordinators. The modules are based on the requirements found in ANSI/ESD S20.20-2021. As new information becomes available the modules will be updated and reposted. The modules will cover all of the topics that an ESD coordinator needs to address in order to run a successful ESD program. Some of the initial topics that will be addressed are:

• ESD Basics
• ESD Related Failure Models
• Device Technology Trends
• Product Qualification
• Compliance Verification
• Grounding
