Hi I would like to know what course, or how to learn to repair
Electronic equipment to component level.
Such as TV'S motherboards, dvd's etc...
There is a City and guilds course:- Electrical and Electronics Servicing -
City and Guilds Level 2 which might teach you this I am not sure, whenever I
call the colleges up there are not familiar with this question
Any advice would be appreciated. |

I'm sorry to say that you're about 10 years too late. Modern consumer
electronics is not designed to be reparable at a component level. One
might even say that it is designed to be irreparable. Of course it is
still *possible*, but it is not possible to simultaneously make a living
and charge a price which compares favorably with buying new. |

Good luck. The vast majority of consumer-grade goods appears to be
made specifically to AVOID being reparable.
If you enjoy tinkering with electronics, however, and the idea of
building your own goodies, I would strongly recommend starting by
getting your amateur radio license. The study materials and books will
give you a decent grounding (pardon the pun) in basic electrical and RF
theory, something you'll need to build on for everything else.

Happy hunting.

Lots of folks dabble in electronics as a hobby. Some voc-tech schools and
some community colleges offer what you need:
1/ DC circuits
2/ AC circuits
3/ Digital electronics
4/ Linear electronics
5/ Microprocessors
.... and so on.
Those are generally lab courses.
You don't have to take courses, but do it if you can. |

It's a good way to learn electronics, necessity being the mother of... well,
learning, in this case.
