This intermediate soldering course has been designed to teach new soldering skills and techniques. It will remind students of the quality of rework expected. Our training will support the  “right first time” ethos and improve staff moral. If you have noticed a rise in your rework numbers or declining levels of  quality this course may be the perfect choice. Sometimes a minor fault can escalate and result in a product being damaged or even scrapped due to poor rework. This soldering course enables students to identify a problem and think first about the best way to fix it.

The course includes LQFP rework training. This will involve placing LQFP components on pads and fitting with soldering iron.
