About The Course

This course provides all the skills necessary to work on modern electronic printed circuit boards. It is intended for candidates who have an understanding of electronics principles, but have little or no experience of working on modern electronic systems or equipment down to component level. It complements the Electronic Fault Finding (Course 570)

Course Participants

This course is essential for anyone involved in repair and maintenance of electronic systems and equipment, including those who are responsible for supervising the repair and quality of electronic systems and equipment.

Course Presentation

This important subject is presented throughout by reference to the IPC 610 Standard and generous amounts of practical work. Comprehensive notes are provided along with all the necessary soldering and rework equipment.
