Our promise
Learn once. Fix forever.
Pay for your training one time. Every time we run a U.S. session, you can come back to the classroom and retrain at no tuition cost.
Pay once
Choose your format, book a call and secure your seat. That is the only tuition you pay.
Come back anytime
At every future U.S. session, walk back into the classroom and retake the course as often as you need.
Cover only your stay
Tuition is never charged twice. You only pay for your own housing and meals when you return.
Most training is sold as a finish line. This is not. Board-level repair cannot be rushed: you come back as your skills and your shop grow, and you push deeper each time.
Why train with us
Built for working technicians.
100% hands-on
Every day is bench time: real boards, real faults. All tools are provided, so you do not bring a thing.
Taught by the people who do it
Justin Ashford of The Art of Repair and the founders of The Repair Academy teach the course at iFixit HQ.

No tuition. When you come back to a future U.S. session you only pay for your housing and meals.
Repair professionals, independent shop owners and tech-minded people who want to specialize in board-level repair instead of replacing parts.
We recommend basic repair experience, such as screen and battery swaps, but the course starts from the fundamentals of micro-soldering. If you are willing to learn, we will teach you. The diagnostics-only week is different: it requires solid board-level soldering skills.
The soldering week covers board-level soldering with a short diagnostics introduction. The diagnostics week goes deeper into schematics, measurement and fault isolation, with no soldering instruction. The two-week training covers both and includes the iFixit Pro Repair Academy Certification.
