  • Anyone with an interest in learning beginners surface mount soldering
What happens when I finish the course?

As a result of completing the soldering course you will have gained valuable knowledge and skills. We recommend you practice your new skills as often as possible. Good soldering takes practice. Therefore, the more you practice the better you will become.

I want to apply for work in the electronics industry. Will this course help?

Yes, many potential employers now use a Soldering test during an interview. This may consist of fitting surface mount resistors, capacitors and diodes.

A test may also include identifying soldering faults. Such as, short circuits, open circuits and misplaced components. This course will show how to fit these parts and identify these faults. As you can log in anytime you can practice as often as required.

I have purchased a PCB kit I would like to build. Will this course help?

If you have purchased a kit that consists of surface mount resistors, diodes and IC’s then this course will most certainly help you with your project. The course explains how components should be placed and soldered.

I want to be employed at home completing soldering piece work. Will this course help?

If the piece work you will be soldering consists of various surface mount components this course will help you.

I want to change a faulty component on a circuit board. Will this course show me how?

This is a beginners course. It will show you how to remove and fit 0603, 0805, 1206 and SOT23 components. So if you want to learn how to replace these parts this is the course for you. This course is not suitable for those hoping to learn fine pitch soldering or BGA repairs.
