With iFixit and The Art of Repair
Learn board-level micro-soldering and diagnostics on real phones, at iFixit HQ in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Two weeks, or one focused week. Pay once and retrain free at every future U.S. session.
Our promise
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.
Choose your format, book a call and secure your seat. That is the only tuition you pay.
At every future U.S. session, walk back into the classroom and retake the course as often as you need.
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.
What you will learn
Schematics, boot lines and multimeters: you learn to speak the language of logic boards.
Touch, charge, audio, baseband, no power: you solder it all, clean and fast.
Revive a board instead of tossing it, and understand the systems inside, not only how to swap the parts outside.
Microscopes, soldering stations, thermal cameras and rework stations, with instructors who do this every day.

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.
No. All tools are provided during the course: microscope, soldering station, hot air, probes and more.
It depends on the option. Housing and meals can be added to any plan, or you can choose the two-week full training with the inclusive stay.
The two-week full training includes the iFixit Pro Repair Academy Certification.
