The Electrostatic Discharge Certification Program, Version 5.0, presents the electronics workstation operator with educational training in understanding ESD and controlling it's destructive effects. The ESD Certification Program has become the most widely used CBT ESD training product in the world and is distributed in 28 countries world wide. This product is available for a free 10 day evaluation to qualified customers. Just contact us to request a product evaluation agreement or click the online request form Online Request Form

The Single User  version is loaded on a Windows PC and there is no limit to the number of students that can be trained.  The training program is "non-transferable" meaning it must reside on only one PC.  The newly designed Administrator 2007 comes with the training program for free.  This new version 5.0 is totally redesigned from earlier versions and was developed using the latest standards for ESD control.

The Network version is loaded on a NT server or 2003 server and can be run from anyone connected to that server.  A small program is executed by the user to load an icon on the person's computer, connecting them to the ESD Training on the server.  Their student records are saved in a database on the server that can be accessed using Administrator 2007, which comes for free with the ESD Certification Program.  The network version and single user version has the same course content.

The Web-based Training version is AICC/SCORM compliant and runs on a web server under IIS.  You can now train your employees in ESD Control anywhere in the world, and there is no limit to the number of students that can be trained.  This product interfaces to your LMS to track the student's training records.  If you do not have an LMS in place, we have a LAN version of the web-based training that comes with Administrator 2007 for free, to track your student's records and print the Certificate of Completion.
