About this course
Kerala's most in-demand
technical skill

Every day in Kerala, millions of smartphones develop faults — cracked screens, charging failures, dead touchpads, water damage. Skilled technicians who can fix these problems are in short supply and high demand.

ETC's Smartphone & Laptop Chip Level Technology course takes you from absolute basics to advanced BGA rework over 12 months of hands-on lab training. Every module is practical — you work on real devices from year one.

Graduates leave with a government-affiliated certificate, a documented portfolio of repairs, and placement assistance from a cell that has been placing chip-level technicians for over a decade.

  • ✓Work on real smartphones and laptops from day one
  • ✓BGA rework stations, microscopes, and hot-air equipment in every lab session
  • ✓Government certificate recognised by employers and Gulf agencies
  • ✓Placement cell with active service-centre relationships

From the people who
completed this course
Now working in Dubai
"I came with zero electronics background. By month 3 I was doing phone repairs independently. By month 9 I was handling chip-level diagnosis. ETC's lab time is what makes the difference."

"The chip-level section is what sets ETC apart. I visited other institutes before choosing — none of them had the equipment or the instructors ETC does for this level of work."
