A person certified in process assessment will possess a foundational understanding of general process assessment strategies, specifically those covered during the training. However, this certification does not equip individuals to conduct assessments in every possible scenario. Practical, hands-on experience with real-world process assessments is essential and cannot be fully replaced by the training provided in this certification.

Who Should Consider This Certification:

• ESD Professionals and Process Engineers working in factory environments who are responsible for identifying and evaluating potential ESD risks.
•      Individuals seeking training that extends beyond the scope of process assessment as defined in ANSI/ESD S20.20 particularly those interested in hands-on experience, measurement techniques, and applying Process Assessment Evaluation (PAE) in real-world settings.
•      Those assigned to assess ESD risks within their organization and who require both the training and credentials necessary to perform effective process assessments.
•      Individuals with prior experience in process assessment wish to deepen their expertise and broaden their perspective with additional techniques and considerations.

Learning outcome/skill sets:

•  Develop a systematic approach to process assessment and troubleshooting, grounded in ANSI/ESD SP17.1 principles.
• Gain knowledge of advanced measurement techniques used in process assessment (PA).
• Understand key manufacturing processes, identify critical steps prone to ESD risk, and explore effective mitigation strategies.
• Acquire a foundational understanding of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), Electrical Overstress (EOS), and relevant auditing methodologies.

Pre-requisites recommended (advanced topics):

• 3–5 years of experience in ESD
• Experience in basic ESD measurement techniques, for example, TR53 certification or equivalent knowledge

Classroom subjects

•            Motivation for process assessment
•       Introduction to physical parameters
•       ESD models of devices, systems, and boards and their relevance in the field   
•       ESD risk scenarios, process assessment flows, and overview of measurement techniques

      The in-person format, which will include demonstrations, exercises, and hands-on opportunities for students, is as follows:

•      Determining the ESD robustness of devices and boards
•      ESD assessment flow I – manual handling   
•      ESD assessment flow II – isolated conductors         
•      ESD assessment flow III – charged ESDS items
•           ESD assessment flow IV – risk due to insulators
•      ESD assessment flow V – ESD event detection
•      Mitigation techniques
•      ESD risk assessment flows for troubleshooting
•      Examples of successful ESD risk assessment

  Exam    

•        Written (multiple choice) exam         
•        Hands-on exam (assess a typical process)   - one hour practical exam
