13 days. 130 hours. Learn once. Fix forever. This is the kind of course that doesn’t just teach you how to solder—it rewires the way you see broken things. It’s board repair for the real world: no gatekeeping, no corporate manuals, no waste. Just skill, clarity, and hands-on practice with the best minds in the field.
If you’re ready to stop saying “we don’t do board repair” and start fixing what others can’t—this is where it begins.
