If you have a lot of work experience or on-the-job training, a high school diploma may be sufficient. Other repair specialists supplement their skills with training in one or two-year training programs at vocational schools or community colleges. Four-year universities also offer educational programs that can help future repair technicians improve their knowledge and skills base. Become an electronics and computer repair professional today!
