IT101 — Samsung Smartphones and Tablets Repairs Training Course

About the Course

IT101 has been expanded into Microlek’s most comprehensive Samsung repair course, combining hardware and software repair into a single complete programme. Starting with ESD safety and workstation setup, the course covers device identification through the IMEI, full disassembly and reassembly methodology, testing common internal components, battery calibration and reconditioning, and Samsung charger types — before moving into a complete software section covering firmware, flashing, unlocking, official Samsung flashing tools, FRP bypass, and the secret codes technicians use daily in the field.
