Repair, Learn, and Certify: A New Path to a Greener Future 🛠️
Are you passionate about sustainability and looking for a new skill that could change your life? Action West London is excited to announce a new hands-on training workshop focused on repairing small electrical and electronic equipment. This is more than just a repair session; it’s a chance to learn a valuable skill, gain a certification, and take a step toward a brighter, more sustainable future.
What to Expect
In this half-day, in-person workshop, you’ll be guided by expert fixers from organisations like the Fixing Factory. You’ll first observe their skilled repair work on various electrical items. Then, you’ll get hands-on and try the repairs yourself, with support every step of the way. You’ll learn how to identify repairable items, troubleshoot common problems, and bring old tech back to life. Following the training, you’ll have the incredible opportunity to undertake a Level 1 certification in repair and PAT testing. This certification can open doors to new employment opportunities and give you a recognised qualification for your CV.
