DJ Repair Course
After more than 12 months in development, AST Repair Perth is proud to announce its 2 day DJ Repair Course.
This 13 hour course presents a format of over 70% on the practical, hands on aspects, but even more importantly, a fault finding and critical thinking aspect, more often than not over looked in this age of "doctor google" and "youtube experts" telling you what to think, not how to think..and in several aspects, repeating incorrect advice, which through the power of repetition, one then "believes" to be "knowledge"..
Students will be taught 3 main aspects, "Mechanical", "Soldering" and "Diagnosis and "Critical Thinking", with the first two on both days, to ensure maximum practical training and refinement of these techniques whilst supervised. Students will be tested, unsupervised on the last day for hand tool usage, and soldering technique, for VOC status on their certificate of participation.

Service and repair - from benchtop and on site diagnosis and fault finding, testing, calibrating and component sourcing and replacements discontinued ones, this is a skill set and experience from working early on within small teams, with decades of experience AND the only professional way to develop as a technician - regular upskilling and keeping abreast of new technology, methods and standards.
