1 Day Micro Soldering Course
Your first day at the microscope. Learn to hold an iron, read a logic board and make clean solder joints — the entry point to the best-paid work in phone repair.
Is this the right course for me?
Board-level repair is where the margins are — the jobs other shops send away. This first day gets you comfortable at the microscope: iron control, flux and solder paste, and the four-stage process for the single most common board repair, the charging port.
What you'll learn
- Set up and control a soldering iron and microscope
- Use solder, solder paste and flux correctly
- Identify components on a logic board
- The four-stage charging-port repair, start to finish
- Repair damaged tracks so charging and data work
- Keep your iron and tips maintained and clean
How the day runs
Microscope and iron setup, temperature control, and making clean joints on practice boards until your hands settle.
The four-stage charging-port repair on a real logic board — remove, prep, install, and repair damaged tracks so data and charging work again.
Inside a real training day
Not a stock photo — this is our actual micro-soldering training bench in Sheffield, photographed during a recent course. The microscope, iron and boards you see are the ones you train on.
Train on it, then take it home
You train on professional tools, and you can walk out with the matching kit: the soldering station, microscope, hot-air rework, flux, power supply and testing gear the board-level course is built around — a full micro soldering bench. Learn on the exact equipment, then start earning at home the very next day — no guessing what to buy.
Questions
How many people are on the course?
One-to-one or one-to-two — never a big class. The price is per person, maximum two people, so you get real hands-on time and personal attention from a working engineer.
Do I need any experience?
For this course: none — we teach soldering from scratch.
Are tools provided on the day?
Yes — everything you need is supplied and set up in our Sheffield repair lab. Many people then buy the matching Mike's Micro Soldering Bundle so they can carry on at home on the exact tools they trained on.
