Attending Electronic Repair Courses Can Help You
To Improve Your Repair Skill
Attending
electronics repair course provided by your local electronic
training institutions is a good move to increase your knowledge in
electronics. We cannot limit ourselves in just attending a single
subject such as basic electronic troubleshooting and
repair.
There are many subjects about electronics especially nowadays
where many engineering or technical college offers courses on PIC
microcontroller. Robotics and household equipments such as air
condition, washing machine, TV, monitor and testing equipments are
using microcontroller.
You can take up courses like programmable logic controller
(PLC), Industrial Automation Electronic, Microcomputer
troubleshooting, electronic control systems, networking, computer
repair, printer, laptop, monitor, appliance, motherboard, TV, cell
phone and etc. You have the choice to attend full time or part
time.
Nowadays there are many online home study courses too.
These specialize
courses duration usually are between 3-6 months. Competition is so
great and you need more than one skill to face the challenge. I
have a friend who is working in oversea told me that if you say you
are good in electronic repair, 100,000 peoples are also good in
this field so what makes the employers want to hire you as a
technician or engineer. The answer is multitasking, that's mean
besides doing component level or circuit board repair work you have
to be good in other area such as networking, computer programming
and etc. You will be glad if you have attended those courses.
I once attended a seminar where the speaker mentioned about company
resizing, company restructuring, and retrenchment, lay down
workers, and reorganize company, in other words the speaker said
you are fired! We have to fully equip ourselves and be ready to
face whatever challenge that is coming on our way. I had some
repair friends who never attend any
electronic repair courses before and they are venturing
into the repair business.
Although they can do the repair work, not all equipment can be
repaired. This is due to their limitation in understanding
electronic. Their jobs are mainly replacing components rather than
doing voltage troubleshooting, using scope and etc. I always
encourage them to take up at least a basic electronic course to
further their knowledge and hope to bring in more income for them.
I even encourage them to surf the internet to gain more electronic
repair knowledge.
As for me,
besides repairing monitors and conduct classes on electronic
repair, I took up internet marketing as another field for me to
venture in. Though my passion is in electronic repair, I begin to
like internet marketing because it can generate a passive income
for me. I can see the potential in it because you can market to the
whole world and make money while you are sleeping.
Throughout
the few years I had learned about building websites
(electronicrepairguide.com was built by me). Building website is
not hard, as long as you must have the passion of doing it. I do
not know about your passion, but additional knowledge whether in
electronics repair or non-electronics is a great advantage for you
and learning has no end. Who knows one day I might end up taking
robotics designing and repair course.
I have read
this quote from a bulletin and would like to share it with you.
"Destiny
is not a matter of chance,
it is a matter of choice.
It is not a thing to be waited for;
it is a thing to be
achieved.
A good quote from Benjamin Franklin “If a man empties his purse
into his head, no one can take it away from him. An investment of
knowledge always pays the best interest”.
