The skills behind the reviews.
Diagnose like a technician
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.
Restore what others replace

Microscopes, soldering stations, thermal cameras and rework stations, with instructors who do this every day.
Questions
Before you enroll.
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.
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 two-week full training includes the iFixit Pro Repair Academy Certification.
