Our Program
Some programs will teach you to build.
Others teach you to fix.
We do both.
Dual-Focused Curriculum
Unlike many programs that focus on either manufacturing or technician skills, STRAC’s dual-focused electronics certification program teaches students a variety of skills. STRAC students learn to master soldering, building and assembly techniques on the manufacturing side, as well as calibration, testing, repairing, and troubleshooting techniques on the technician side. We expertly pair coursework with hands-on training to help students master industry skills and earn electronics certifications valuable to prospective employers, including ETA and IPC certifications.
