What you learn in Advanced

Why once a week

One class a week.
Six days to make it yours.

Every class is 100% practice, with no theory to sit through. You learn one skill in detail on Saturday, and for the rest of the week you do it yourself until your hands know it.

  1. Saturday

    Learn it in class

    You go through the skill in detail, hands on, with your instructor next to you. You leave with homework.

  2. Sunday to Friday

    Practice every day

    You practice what you learned every day, in your free time.

  3. Next Saturday

    Exam, then the next class

    You start with an exam on last week's skill. Then the next class begins.

If you don't practice between classes, even ten hours with an instructor is wasted time and money. That's why classes are once a week.

Questions

Before you
sign up.

Can I start microsoldering with no experience?

Intermediate comes after the Basic course, so new students begin at Basic. With professional board-level experience, you can start at Advanced.

Is it really hands-on?

Yes. You work on real devices from the first class, with the instructor next to you.

Can I learn just one repair?

Yes. One-on-one training is sold by topic: you pick the repair, the Academy confirms what it covers and schedules your sessions.

When are the classes?

On Saturdays. Each level runs 4 weeks: 2 hours a Saturday in Basic, 3 in Intermediate and 5 in Advanced.

What do I get at the end?

A WeFixed Academy certificate of completion after the final practical exam, and lifetime access to the graduate group. It is the Academy's own certificate, not a state license.

How much does it cost?

Each level and each one-on-one topic is priced on its own. Every price is in our free course guide: tap Get the free course guide and it opens right away, and a manager will text you the next start dates.
