I attended the course in N. Virginia with Feliciano Andrade and cannot say enough good things about the course. My background was very limited, but Feliciano was able to explain and teach in a way that was relevant for the entire group. The class included discussion as well as a lot of hands-on activities. We did everything from disassembly/reassembly, adhesive, water damage, and soldering. Not only was Feliciano informative, but the other classmates were also helpful. Since we all had different backgrounds, it helped add more dimension to the conversation and questions. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in learning about repairing cell phones.
