I love what you said, and the reality of it. I'm not against education, in fact it has served many people well, but I'm against what it has turned into; Students focus on grades rather than actual learning, and hands on application. Your workshop will be an excellent step for those who want to start Micro-Soldering and for those who want to get better, but like you said you're going to share the knowledge and technique, but its up to the student to put it to work. At first your strive for perfection, master the skill and later you go for excellence, because no one is perfect. Bravo!! All the love from your home country!
Am a mobile phone technician and i have been watching your videos lately-plenty of them. and TBH this is a good news to hear that you would be passing such innumerable knowledge to others i have great passion for the work you do and wish to learn but sadly am far away😢 I’d be happy to learn that i can possibly take an online class. Cheers to #AlexTheGreat😊
All i can say is that i am grateful for having my father as motivation and u as inspiration . Since he bought me tools to start and u shared that knowledge to implement.
I've been microsoldering on PCBs for years, (Console Modder) I have recently been learning more of the repair processes of electronics. This channel has been a great help in learning. This workshop will be an invaluable resource Im sure.
I have been studying micro soldering for past 5 years non-stop. Learning everything as possible, but learning from a master is very educational. I can’t wait for this workshop. Exciting news! 🔥
Sadly i can't join but this workshop is a dream to me ( Egyptian you know 😂) Inshallah i will meet you in the future and join this workshop شكرا لكونك من افضل الاشخاص الموجودين على اليوتيوب في كل المجالات و ليس مجال الصيانة فقط و لكونك ساهمت في تعليم الكثير من الاشخاص و انا واحد منهم شكرا جزيلا لك
I've been micro soldering for 13 years, I run a business that I customize Harley gauges and change the leds out in them, I wish I lived closer, I would like to learn a new career.
For me learning I always wanna know the why behind need 10K resistors 100K and so on so I know the color's and instantly were they should go the polarity. Then I would know without needing to look up diagrams or videos of others doing it. Love learning but always wanted to learn the reason behind the part needed for the specific location so I know better next time I try.
You're correct, Alex - very few people have the abilities necessary to do this kind of work, from manual skills to psychological makeup. But you can try to teach what you can, and some will pick up on it and succeed.
I hope that the workshop includes some hands on experience by the students under your supervision. Videos, Books and Lectures are great for exposing a person to theory, methods and techniques. But a student learns the best by doing and getting feedback from an expert as to what they are doing wrong, or being advised how they can do something better. "Learn by doing". You are absolutely correct about a college degree. Back in the late 1990s I was on a project in Algeria. The government said that would pay the salaries of any young engineers that we hired. I hired 5. Three of them were women! At first, I was surprised that I had hired three women. However when I gave it some thought, it all made sense - perfect sense. A young woman in 1990s Algeria who had completed four years of education to get a degree in Engineering and was fluent in English or French had exactly all the traits that I was looking for in a new employee!
Exactly - feedback is what you can't get from TH-cam. I can see on TH-cam what Alex does, or what someone else does. They can't see what I'm doing. That's the biggest value of being in the room with an instructor.
This is exactly why when my mother tells me "you finished your CS degree you should be getting a lot of offers and make a lot of money now" I have to unfortunately tell her that's not the way it works. Sure I have a CS degree I learned a lot but I have 0 real work experience as a developer and thus wont just walk into a job making 90K a year.
Microsoldering is my day and some times night job. Infortunaly im not a local... if i as, my friend i already knock at your door! What you do in your videos is what i do here. I do not make more because time is not strech!!!! Keep your good work and vibe!
Nothing like Training and even better learning "Super Advanced Skill Set" love watching your videos even I can learn new techniques 73 as Ham Radio Operators would say
maybe you can say electrical engineering is not on the specialty of electronics components and theory but if you take Electronics and Communications Engineering you will make useful theory to practical use. I am a technician and also a engineer I can use them both specially in micro soldering.
great video....now, instead of "better than factory", this is "better than university" ...i agree with your point of view: some jobs require a college degree, but there are also jobs that require training on technical stuff and special fine motor skills, like micro soldering. Best of luck with your workshop.
A couple of years ago i applied and you turned me down. I wonder if it was because im a female. But also an experienced tech is gonna want to get paid properly specially in Southern California.
I love your work I would really like to learn Micro Soldering Electronics so I'm a welder but mig mag and tig but I love that because I also like working with PCs.
Absolutely agreed 100% exactly what i did in computer network field, i ditched all the certification and became really good at it by doing it, able to channel the energy to fix any issue without even needing to know the theory behind it. Practical is the key, was trying to meet you when you come to Montreal ! We were cultured into piece of paper.
I have been trying to repair an xbox one controller. On gamepad tester, the left stick was not registering left or right movements on the x-axis. After replacing with a brand new module, the stick now registers as being stuck fully to the right. Any ideas what it could be?
Pitty I live in Australia. I would of like to take that course and to meet you. I am trying to save money to buy all those things you use when you fix stuff. I do fix my phone, laptop etc. Learned most of them by just watching your videos. Watching your videos are like a therapy, it relaxes me.
I believe the idea of on-line courses will be ideal too for those who live outside the US. Perhaps in the near future that could be available so I have proper tools as I have been watching this channel for a few years.
If I was local.. I would be camping outside your door awaiting training day one. Would love to see a short video of the first class once complete. Good luck Sir, but you don't need it.
Thank you for the explanation. I also received an e-mail from you. But you will be providing face-to-face training. Have you considered planning it online? I think it would be possible to reach more people then. Thank you.
I am just starting and have a book called " Electronics for dummies' I hate the title but I am dumb so its ok .. the book is very good in learning the basics of components soldering and stuff you need . I already bought mant tools to start . would you consider an online class in episodes for home use ? im from Belgium and im not gonna make it because of the distance lol thank you
I'd quit my software development job and move local to be your technician! I can do any of the soldering, but I am still learning the troubleshooting the PCB part of the job. Probably not practical though lol but I'd SOO do it
Great! I have a wson chip I cannot desolder. Heat gun will not melt the solder of the thermal pad under it, and I cannot apply the low melt solder. What can I do?
When Alex Starts Ranting About Formal Education He Is Completely Delusional. Absolutely. Without a serious electronics education 99.99 percent of us would not be able to troubleshoot or diagnose difficult issues. Some Of What Alex Says Has Fatal Flaws. I wonder if he tells his children that education is worthless....
I am happy you ara gonna offer an on prem course. For me, living in Europe, it’s not an option though. Maybe you could do condensed videos lessons covering the most important things to watch out for.
Iike most others here. I am from Europe, so coming local for the workshop would be possible if it was around global holiday times. I hope this works out for NRF and it's students.
Just watching Video online about car repair don't translate into fixing cars IRL, cause I do watch them but it don't stick in my head unless I'm doing it hands one then I remember. But it still Requires hands on practice to learn it.
education, correction, a DEGREE, is a Key, to open doors. some doors should not require a key. and high schools should teach hands on trades the last two years so you can to be an AC tech apprentice or whatever.
@@NorthridgeFix it would be great if you would be able to put it online for some of us that are not in the us . I’m from Romania but leave in the uk and I’d love to be able to attend this course online. Either way love your videos and the dedication for what you do .
Hello sir this awesome I’ll will love to be thought by you o o on one when the schedule is announced got to make sure it doesn’t fall with my chemo time !! My prayers are set high I can make it ?
If you are watching the video and you are in UK or US or in a different country or international country, you have to plan your trip, hotels, food etc for 6 days course. People are commenting and asking questions without watching the whole video

Mentioning Tate, is good for algo and good also for the young people.
Keep on Grinding 😊
Alex, You lift so many people up. God Bless you brother. 👍
Am a mobile phone technician and i have been watching your videos lately-plenty of them.

I’d be happy to learn that i can possibly take an online class.
Cheers to #AlexTheGreat😊
You can read ever book, watch every video. It means very little. Where you really learn is hands on experience.
not realy true, you acually need written knowalge to understand process as a whole,
All i can say is that i am grateful for having my father as motivation and u as inspiration . Since he bought me tools to start and u shared that knowledge to implement.
I've been microsoldering on PCBs for years, (Console Modder) I have recently been learning more of the repair processes of electronics. This channel has been a great help in learning. This workshop will be an invaluable resource Im sure.
Best of luck with it Alex and I’m sure people are going to get a wealth of knowledge for what it’s going to be worth.
With enough Skill and Equipment, you have to worry Just about nothing❤Keep up the great work
It's about time that you start passing that incredible knowledge thank you
Alex, you are a blessing to the electronics repairing community🙏
Agree with your point. Education only will not define a person but knowledge plus experience does. Always love watching your video. From Malaysia.
Im all in IM SO EXCITED. SERIOUSLY YOUR PRESESENCE CHANGED MY LIFE.
If I was closer I would have loved to attend this training but being from SA I'll just say knowledge is power keep up the good work
I'm 37 but I just applied for electronics engineering and electric engineering m. I'm excited. Been practicing and teaching myself for the past year.
Software engineer here. Love the take that you should know your tools. I think it is similarly important in my field.
I have been studying micro soldering for past 5 years non-stop. Learning everything as possible, but learning from a master is very educational. I can’t wait for this workshop. Exciting news! 🔥
You can tell he is in a good mood right from the start from his smile. 😀
An online course would be amazing
this is the greatest thing because this morning I was just looking all your videos to find exactly this training well done :)
Sadly i can't join but this workshop is a dream to me ( Egyptian you know 😂)

You can tell if someone is a master of their trade when they make something that is hard to do look easy.

Resistor is for limiting current or voltage divider

I have micro soldering experience and work as a Biomed….and I’m in Los Angeles, CA! I would be interested in learning more about micro soldering.
I LOVE the zebrawood frame for your degree!
you forgot to mention that you need really good vision for micro-soldering.
I hope you're not using your eyes to micro solder. That's what the microscope is for.
I hope no one going into heart transplant surgery watches this video :>
I like this kind of videos
I want complete series basic to advance
You won't get it for free

I have been trying to repair an xbox one controller. On gamepad tester, the left stick was not registering left or right movements on the x-axis. After replacing with a brand new module, the stick now registers as being stuck fully to the right.
Any ideas what it could be?
"Practise makes perfekt." Besides, I'm a brain-surgeon, just by TH-cam-Videos! 😂
I hope you'll make a teaser video of the courses in action.
I've been trying to teach myself off youtube. It isn't going very well. I'd take these if I can.

Why not Online courses? I would pay for that!
How much is the workshop?
to bad i live in tx and you are in cali. I would like to do this, just as something new to learn.
Please use Udemy platform too, I've so many courses there and want to add this one to them too, thank you very much

At last after years, U been talking about it at least since early COVID
When are you doing the collaboration video with Jayz2Cents? I've been looking forward to that video for months!
Can you make also online version of it? On platform like udemy or something like that?
you should record the classes and sell them as online courses
ok how do we register for it ? and cost ??
i do cpu swaps, fix mac boards, samsung boards, do glass only ipads iphones etc. is pay good?
