Learn ESD at your own pace – with final test and certificate.
Buy an ESD online course, learn at your own pace and download your certificate. Standard-compliant with DIN EN IEC 61340-5-1.
Compact introduction to ESD protection according to IEC 61340-5-1 – for production and office staff in electronics manufacturing.
Qualification as ESD responsible person: standard requirements, ESD control program and responsibilities in the company.
Advanced course for ESD coordinators: coordinating ESD protection, audits, training and monitoring.
The basic course is aimed at everyone who handles electronic assemblies – production staff, but also office roles who touch the goods.
Charges of a few hundred volts damage components without anyone noticing. Around nine out of ten ESD damages are latent: the assembly leaves the plant, and fails at the customer. Participants learn why the fault is rarely found where it was caused.
Grounding, wrist strap, ESD footwear and flooring, work surfaces, chairs, tools – what each element is for, and what happens when one of them is missing.
The 30 cm rule for insulators, no drinks, no private jackets, packaging opened only inside the EPA, and: report rather than keep quiet.
Shielding versus dissipative bags – the single most common mistake in shipping and goods-in.
A multiple-choice test at the end documents understanding. Passing produces the certificate automatically.
You book a contingent of places for your company. No software, no installation, no IT project – a browser is enough, on a PC, tablet or phone.
The responsible person enters the participants or passes on access codes. Each participant gets their own account, so the record stays personal.
Around 30 minutes, pausable at any time. At the end a multiple-choice test; anyone who does not pass can repeat it.
The certificate is generated automatically with name, date, number and QR code – ready for the audit folder. The responsible person sees the completion status at a glance.
Clause 5.2.2 of DIN EN IEC 61340-5-1 sets four requirements for training: initial training before the first handling of ESDS, recurrent refreshers at defined intervals, records, and a defined method that verifies understanding. The standard does not say how the training is delivered. What matters is the proof – and that is exactly where an online course with a final test is stronger than a signature on an attendance sheet: the test result is a documented, reproducible verification of understanding, per participant, with a date.
Add to that what auditors like: identical content for every participant, a complete record, and certificates that can be verified at any time. Training records must be kept, and your programme plan has to state where.
Details of the current edition: DIN EN IEC 61340-5-1:2025 – what changes.
Operators and office staff, refresher training, new starters who need EPA access at short notice, and foreign sites where language matters.
Everything hands-on: measurements with real instruments, EPA walk-throughs, the ESD responsible person and the ESD coordinator qualification. Held in Schmalkalden or at your site.
Companies book a contingent of places rather than individual logins. The responsible person distributes access, sees the completion status and downloads the certificates – ready for the audit folder. Volume pricing applies from the fifth participant. On request we invoice per site so the costs land in the right cost centre.
The course, the tests and the certificates exist in all 20 languages of this website – among them Chinese, Hungarian, Romanian, Czech, Slovak, Polish, Turkish, Vietnamese and Thai. For groups with plants abroad that is the decisive point: every employee learns in their own language, while the certificate and the level of knowledge stay comparable across sites. A single control programme, one training standard – in every plant.
Yes. DIN EN IEC 61340-5-1 does not prescribe a teaching format. Clause 5.2.2 requires initial training before the first handling of ESDS, recurrent refreshers, records – and a defined method that verifies understanding. Our course covers all four: it is completed before EPA access, can be repeated, produces a record, and the final test documents understanding.
The basic course takes about 30 minutes including the final test. Participants can pause at any point and continue later – progress is saved.
Yes. After passing the final test each participant receives a certificate of participation with name, date, certificate number and a QR code for verification. The certificate is registered with ESDL and can be checked online at any time.
The standard requires recurrent training at intervals defined in your control programme. Annual repetition has proven itself in practice and is what we recommend – the refresher is also the natural place to cover the changes of the 2025 edition.
Yes. Companies book a contingent of places; the responsible person distributes access and sees who has completed the course. Volume pricing applies from the fifth participant.
The course and the certificates are available in all 20 languages of this website – including Chinese, Hungarian, Romanian, Czech, Polish, Turkish and Vietnamese. Participants at foreign sites learn in their own language, the certificate stays comparable.
Online covers knowledge: fundamentals, behaviour in the EPA, refreshers. Classroom training covers everything that needs hands and equipment – measurements, EPA walk-throughs, the coordinator qualification. Many customers combine both.
We are happy to set up a test access or discuss a contingent for your sites.
