Entry Level Microsoldering Training

This Entry Level Microsoldering Course is designed for aspiring electronics repair technicians seeking a structured, hands-on introduction to board-level repair. Students learn the foundational skills used in professional repair environments, beginning with soldering fundamentals including flux application, oxidation control, solder selection, and proper technique using industry-standard Hakko soldering stations, hot tweezers, and hot air rework stations. Multimeter basics and DC power supply operation are introduced early and applied throughout the course for safe, accurate electrical testing and diagnosis.

Core microsoldering skills include micro iron and micro tweezer technique for SMD component replacement, hot air rework for component removal and installation, and the identification, testing, and replacement of key electronic components including filters, diodes, capacitors, coils, and IC chips. Students gain practical experience with charge port replacement, USB-C and HDMI connector soldering, flex cable soldering, and FPC connector replacement — repairs that form the foundation of day-to-day mobile device repair work.

The course also introduces board-level diagnostics including short detection, full and partial short identification, power issue diagnosis, and charging fault repair. Students are introduced to schematic reading and board view software including ZXW, equipping them with the diagnostic tools used in professional repair facilities worldwide. Real-world repair scenarios cover power issues, charging faults, and liquid damage cleaning and repair, giving students direct experience with the most common fault types encountered in a working repair environment.

Who Should Enroll:

This course is ideal for individuals with basic repair experience in disassembling and repairing mobile devices. Prior soldering experience is not required, as the course begins with foundational soldering skills and progresses to advanced micro soldering techniques.
