UK phone repair apprenticeship needed, says firm - BBC News
A firm that fixes smartphones is calling for an official device repair apprenticeship to be introduced.But repair firm TMT First, which introduced its own apprenticeship after struggling to find staff, points out there is no industry training standard.
"If you think about the technology and all the devices in our homes today, those things need repairing. And when people are taught the correct way of doing that, these devices will last for longer." But there are no search results under "phone repair" on the website for the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education, a government agency.
Mr Whitehouse said his was one of a group of organisations that had submitted a proposal before the pandemic, but several of them were no longer in business. Phones that cannot be fixed get shredded, so that the precious metals inside, including gold, can be retrieved and reused. TMT First has also pioneered a new way of fixing some handsets which reduces e-waste by saving the battery and outside frame.An experienced technician can carry out 15 to 20 repairs per shift, depending on what the damage is. Smashed screens are still the most common issue.
Apple now does home loans of technical equipment and publishes long instruction manuals for those wishing to do it. But you end up with an invalid warranty if your repair fails.
