A skill you can see, practise and develop
From damaged device to confident repair process
Smartphones change every year. Screens become thinner, housings change, components move, software pairing develops and manufacturers introduce new adhesives, connectors and diagnostic challenges. A technician therefore needs more than a single repair trick: they need a repeatable way to inspect, diagnose, plan, repair, reassemble and test.
This bootcamp introduces that repair mindset through representative iPhone, iPad and selected Android devices. You will learn how model generations differ, why repair methods change, how to research a device before opening it and how to choose an appropriate repair approach.
- Beginner-friendly demonstrations followed by supervised practice
- Individual work position with small-cohort instructor guidance
- Realistic fault scenarios—not only perfect demonstration devices
- Safety, quality control and post-repair testing throughout
What you will explore
Common faults, changing models and practical solutions
Across the six workshops, learners build foundations in the most common repair categories. Exact devices and procedures may vary according to parts availability, learner level and safety requirements.
02
Back glass and housings
Understand back-glass and complete-housing repair routes, preparation, component transfer, wireless-charging considerations and safe finishing.
03
Batteries and power
Battery health symptoms, safe isolation and removal, adhesive handling, replacement principles and post-repair charging checks.
04
Charging problems
Separate cable, adaptor, contamination, port, battery and board-level symptoms before deciding on cleaning, assembly replacement or referral.
05
Cameras and audio
Test cameras, microphones, speakers and earpieces; recognise modular faults, damaged flex cables, obstruction and software-related symptoms.
06
Water-damage challenges
Safe intake, power isolation, corrosion awareness and triage. Learn when a device should not be powered and when specialist board work is needed.
Parts knowledge matters
LCD, OLED and replacement-part grades explained
A repair can look successful and still disappoint the customer if the replacement part is wrong for the job. Learners will be introduced to the practical differences between commonly available part grades and why price alone should not drive selection.
LCD and OLEDUnderstand display technology, image quality, thickness, brightness, power use and device compatibility.
Aftermarket gradesCompare budget, standard and higher-quality options without making misleading “original” claims.
Refurbished partsLearn what may be retained or replaced and what needs checking before installation.
Quality controlTest touch, colour, brightness, cameras, audio, charging and physical fit before completing a job.
Six guided workshops
Your three-weekend learning journey
Each three-hour session combines demonstration, safe supervised practice and questions. The programme is designed as a strong foundation—not a promise of mastery of every device in 18 hours.
Day 1 · Sat 1 Aug
Safety, tools, model research and diagnosis
Set up a repair bench, identify components, record condition and work through a structured intake and fault-assessment process.
Day 2 · Sun 2 Aug
Displays, front glass and safe opening
Compare model construction and practise opening, disconnecting, inspecting, transferring components, aligning and testing.
Day 3 · Sat 8 Aug
Batteries, charging and power symptoms
Build safe battery habits and learn to distinguish common port, power-source, battery and assembly-related faults.
Day 4 · Sun 9 Aug
Back glass, housing and component transfer
Explore repair routes, disassembly planning, adhesives, transfer sequence and the risks involved in housing-based work.
Day 5 · Sat 15 Aug
Cameras, audio, water-damage triage and parts
Test modular functions, recognise common symptoms, assess water exposure safely and compare replacement-part grades.
Day 6 · Sun 16 Aug
End-to-end supervised repair challenge
Diagnose, plan, repair, reassemble, test and document a representative job, followed by next-step guidance.
Practical work in an AI-enabled world
AI can support diagnosis. Skilled hands still complete the physical repair.
AI is changing research, documentation, customer support and diagnostic workflows, but damaged glass, worn batteries, corroded connectors and failed components still require careful inspection and physical intervention.
Use technology as an assistant
Modern technicians can use manuals, repair databases, diagnostics and AI-assisted research to compare symptoms and understand unfamiliar models. The valuable skill is knowing how to verify that information and apply it safely.
Build a flexible practical capability
Repair knowledge may support personal device maintenance, an additional workplace skill, further technician study, supervised employment or a future service business. Outcomes depend on continued practice, quality, demand and individual effort; income is never guaranteed.
Prepared for your learning
Your personal training kit box
Following acceptance and cleared payment, we prepare a learner kit containing the tools, equipment, practice parts and course content specified in your booking confirmation. It is designed to support the workshop activities and your continued responsible practice after the programme.

Frequently asked questions
Before you apply
Do I need previous repair experience?
No. The programme begins with safe bench setup, tools, device anatomy, intake checks and structured diagnosis.
Will I learn every model and every repair in 18 hours?
No course can responsibly promise mastery of every device in 18 hours. You will practise foundational processes using representative devices and learn how to research and approach model changes. Continued practice is essential.
Is the programme only about Apple devices?
The primary focus is common iPhone and iPad repair foundations, with selected Android devices used to compare construction, diagnosis and repair approaches where appropriate.
Can I repair customer devices after the course?
The programme provides a practical foundation, not an automatic guarantee of professional competence. Begin with training devices and low-risk supervised practice, and accept customer work only when you can perform it safely, lawfully and to an appropriate standard.
Do I receive the training kit?
Your booking confirmation will list the tools, equipment, parts and materials included in your personal kit. Exact contents may vary according to availability and the planned cohort activities.
How is payment made?
Payment is by bank transfer only after application acceptance. We email an invoice, Booking Terms, booking reference and verified payment instructions. Payment is required within three days to secure the place.
Is income guaranteed?
No. Repair can become a useful personal skill, workplace capability, side service or career pathway, but earnings depend on competence, continued practice, pricing, demand, costs and individual effort.
What if I need accessibility support?
The application form lets you request a private conversation about reasonable adjustments without entering medical information publicly.
A small cohort with a fixed start date
Do not wait until the ten places are gone.
Applications are reviewed personally. If the programme is suitable and a place remains, you will receive the next steps by email. Applying does not require immediate payment and does not reserve a place until acceptance and cleared payment.
