Jose Carrasquillo
"This course is straight to the point. I knew nothing about soldering and was able to start soldering with these practice kits and it worked. Some of the soldering was more or less correct, but now I have the confidence to continue practicing and improving."
Justin Mundy
"Informative and easy to follow."
Mark Charmbury
"I learned some really important steps I did not know before. I am now feeling way more confident to tackle my next soldering project. This course is laid out very well and the instructor is excellent at presenting the information. This course is excellent for beginners like myself who have tried soldering but struggled with results. I can’t wait to apply the things learned to my next project."

Don't worry, we got you. Here are some answers for your questions.
Yes. I would highly advise ordering your supplies before starting the course. A list of equipment is included in the course that will tell you what items work best, and which to avoid.
No. However, I've secured a 15% discount on your order from 3D Circuitry to help with the cost. The prices are very reasonable, so grab a few kits to practice on!
This course is designed for someone who has little to no experience soldering. But I believe even someone who's been soldering for a while might learn a thing or two.
I've been IPC certified since 2013. IPC certification is what companies send their employees to ensure quality and consistency in their products. I was taught by a man who worked and trained NASA electronics technicians. I also taught soldering to countless Rice University engineering students for over 10 years where we went through the same example board as in the kit course.
I've been soldering/repairing my own projects for as long as I can remember, but it wasn't until I learned to properly learned to solder that everything got SO much easier and my frustration with soldering melted away. It made it such a better experience for me and my electronics projects. I finally didn't have to troubleshoot my crappy workmanship.
If you like to make stuff, you need to know how to solder correctly. It's a simple skill to learn that will be used time and time again.
