Q: Can I really learn how to repair in 5 days?
A: Yes! Our training is based on the "Learn by Doing" model of instruction, so that means you will have plenty of opportunities to learn and work directly with the tools and equipment in training. You will have plenty of hands-on training during the 5 days and will feel confident by the end of training.
Q: How come Wild PCS does not provide online training?
A: To put it simply - Online cell phone repair training just does not work. We can easily put videos together and put it up on line for people to view and mimic the repairs, but the problem is very obvious - we cannot see your work to correct your errors. The hands-on learning portion is critical for students to graps the skills needed to do the repairs correctly and this cannot be replicated in an online environment. Don't fool your self and think you can learn repairs online and save yourself the money and heartache by accepting our input on why it's not doable and the importance of the right training is needed to become a cellular master technician.

Q: We see other start-up training centers teach Game Console, iPod and MP3 repairs along with cell phone repair training in their 5 day course, do you offer that as well?
A: It is hard enough to train our students to master cell phone repair techniques in our accelerated 5 day course, so how proficient will you be when so many topics are covered within such a short period of time? We do, however, show sites where you can go to learn step-by-step instructions on how to repair and service those devices. There are new cell phone models coming out on a weekly basis, and our main focus in our training is to teach our students how to become a true Cellular Master Technician that can repair all manufactured models out there, and not to become a generalist with limited repair skills. We have a saying in our training - If you can fix all models of cell phones, you can fix any portable electronic device out in the market today...which they all agree with after the completion of our training.
