The testing of a cleanroom requires skills and the following certification courses are provided to ensure this.
Candidates can register for either Professional Certification or Associate Certification.
1- Professional Certification
For people whose profession is cleanroom testing, and routinely test all aspects of cleanroom testing.
Candidates will be required to:
• Study the self study course notes that will be sent to you.
• Attend a lecture course and then pass a written examination on Cleanroom Testing and a written examination on Particle counting.
• Attend a one day course on practical aspects of filter integrity and air volume and velocity testing
• Show a high level of competence in (a) filter integrity testing and (b) measuring air velocities and volumes, by passing a practical exam.
Please note that professional candidates who fail the practical exam will NOT be rewarded the Associate certification even if they pass the written exams. Candidates who apply for the professional level must have at least 2 years' experience in testing cleanrooms (especially in the filter integrity test).
2- Associate Certification
For people who are either familiar with some aspects of cleanroom testing, and wish to gain knowledge about the subject or have been working less than two years as a cleanroom tester, but wish to use the certification course as a basis of training and working towards professional status. Candidates will be required to:
• Study the issued course notes.
• Attend a lecture course and then pass a written examination on Cleanroom Testing.
• Attend a one-day course on practical aspects of filter integrity, and air and velocity measurements.
Students who have obtained the associate qualification may convert to a professional certificate once they have a minimum of two year experience and are able to pass the practical exam.
