Become a Master of Microsoldering and Board Repair with iFixit and The Repair Academy in Chattanooga!

Are you ready to elevate your skills and become a top-tier repair professional? Join us July 7-19 at the iFixit headquarters in Chattanooga, TN, where we’re teaming up with The Repair Academy and The Art of Repair to offer a unique and intensive 12-day Microsoldering and Board Repair Course that will set you apart in the industry.

This is more than just a learning opportunity; it’s your gateway to a stable, well-compensated career in a growing, resilient industry. With tariffs on Chinese imports pushing up the price of new tech, repair is a key way to manage costs and reduce e-waste. The sooner you learn, the sooner you’ll be able to contribute to the repair ecosystem, making technology more affordable for everyone.

Why This Course is Your Best Investment Right Now

Repair has never been more essential. Tariffs are driving up the cost of new technology, making devices more expensive, and leading to an urgent need for highly skilled repair technicians in the U.S. The cost of new smartphones, laptops, and other tech gadgets is expected to rise dramatically. That’s where repair becomes an invaluable solution—not just to save money, but to keep devices working longer and prevent e-waste. The future of repair is here, and we need technicians like you to make it happen.

This course will give you the practical, in-demand skills you need to thrive in the repair industry, where professionals are always in demand.
