FAQ
Your questions.
You pay for your training one time. Every time we run a U.S. session, you can come back to the classroom and retrain without paying tuition again. You only cover your own housing and meals. Ask us about the details on your call.
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.
