IPC EMS Program Manager Training Reaches Milestone with 100th Certification

IPC—Association Connecting Electronics Industries announces eight newly certified EMS program managers, under the IPC EMS Program Manager Training and Certification Program. With this recent group, IPC has certified over 100 EMS program managers.

The training program, developed with input from the IPC EMS Management Council, teaches and tests specific skills for EMS program managers such as operations, finance, contract, time management and leadership. The comprehensive training program is designed for experienced managers, new managers and managers in training within the EMS industry and is separated into four segments: Introduction to EMS Training and Program Management; EMS Training I (self-study/online tutorial); EMS Training II; and EMS Leadership Training. Certified EMS program manager (CEPM) status is earned after successfully completing the program’s series of courses, passing a final certification exam and satisfying work experience time requirements.

"When an EMS program manager is properly trained and certified, the benefits to the individual, their company and the industry as a whole are numerous. When they better understand the industry, they can identify key issues important to their OEM customers, apply successful problem-solving techniques to specific EMS situations, and work toward meeting their organization’s goals,” adds Susan Filz, IPC Director of Industry Programs.
