Course Content

Preparation

A crucial aspect of soldering is proper preparation. In this course, we emphasize the importance of pre-soldering preparations, including surface cleaning, component placement, and heat management. You will learn how to ensure optimal solder flow and joint integrity through meticulous preparation techniques.

Component Lead Coatings

Understanding different component lead coatings is essential for successful soldering. Our course covers a wide range of coatings, including gold, silver, tin, and more. You will learn how to handle each type of coating, identify potential challenges, and achieve reliable solder joints regardless of the coating material.

Solder Types

The choice of solder can greatly impact the quality of solder joints. We dive deep into the various solder types available, such as lead-based and lead-free solders. Our experts will guide you through the characteristics, advantages, and limitations of each type, enabling you to make informed decisions based on specific project requirements.

Leaded vs. Non-Lead

The debate between leaded and non-lead soldering is ongoing. In our Soldering Course, we provide a comprehensive analysis of both options, discussing the environmental impact, health considerations, regulatory compliance, and performance factors associated with each. You will gain the expertise to educate others on the benefits and challenges of each soldering approach.

Solder Melting Points

Understanding solder melting points is crucial for achieving successful soldering connections. Our course will educate you on different solder alloys, their melting points, and the significance of selecting the appropriate solder for specific applications. You will gain the skills to teach others how to identify and work with different melting points effectively.

Flux Types and Use

Flux plays a critical role in soldering by promoting wetting and improving solder flow. In this course, we explore a variety of flux types, including rosin, water-soluble, and no-clean fluxes. You will learn how to select and apply the appropriate flux for various soldering tasks, ensuring reliable and durable solder joints.

Double-Sided Boards

Soldering on double-sided boards can present unique challenges. Our Soldering Course equips you with techniques and strategies to overcome these challenges. You will learn how to handle component positioning, thermal management, and solder flow to achieve consistent results on double-sided boards.

Silver Loaded

Silver-loaded solders are known for their enhanced conductivity and high-temperature performance. In our course, we delve into the intricacies of working with silver-loaded solders. You will gain hands-on experience and learn how to impart this knowledge to others, allowing them to harness the benefits of silver-loaded soldering.

Joint Wetting

Achieving proper joint wetting is crucial for strong and reliable solder connections. Our course focuses on the science behind wetting and teaches you how to troubleshoot common wetting issues. You will develop the skills to train others in the art of achieving optimal joint wetting and solder flow.

Post-Repair Inspection

After completing a soldering repair, thorough inspection is essential to ensure quality and reliability. In our Soldering Course, we emphasise the importance of post-repair inspection techniques. You will learn how to conduct visual inspections, use magnification tools effectively, and perform electrical tests to verify the integrity of solder joints. By mastering post-repair inspection methods, you will be able to teach others how to confidently assess the quality of their soldering work.

Course Delivery

The Soldering Course is an in person course at Elevated Knowledges’ designated premises in Stockport.

Assessment

The assessment process in the Soldering Course is based on attendence and by completing the practical work required in the couse. Upon successfully completion of the course will result in the issue of an Elevated Knowledge certificate of completion.
