Computer & Electronics Maintenance
Turn troubleshooting into a trade — diagnose, repair and upgrade devices.
Every home and business depends on devices that eventually slow down, break or need an upgrade — and people who can fix them are always in demand. This program teaches the practical fundamentals of computer and electronic-device maintenance, from hardware diagnostics to software recovery.
Trainees work on real machines: disassembling and reassembling PCs and laptops, replacing components, installing operating systems, and learning the safe handling of electronic parts. The goal is a marketable repair skill that can become a job or an independent service.
The workshop has a permanent bench of donor machines — a mix of desktop towers, ageing laptops, and a few tablets — that trainees work through systematically across the eight weeks. A typical session starts with a fault diagnosis exercise (the trainer introduces a deliberate fault; trainees identify and fix it), then moves to a build or upgrade task, and ends with a brief on how to price and explain that job to a customer. The cumulative effect is a trainee who has handled enough varied hardware to problem-solve confidently on real customer devices from the first week of work.
What you will learn

What you walk away with
Graduates can confidently maintain and repair computers and common devices — a skill that opens workshop jobs, IT-support roles, or an income-generating repair service. Graduates are also prepared to price, invoice, and manage simple repair jobs professionally — the business side of running an independent repair service.
