Cellphone Technician Training with E-Waste Salvage & Management
(Nish Tech Institute – Practical, Workplace-Ready Programme)
This hands-on programme trains learners to become competent cellphone technicians while mastering e-waste salvage and responsible management. Every module is practical, scenario-based, and designed for real workshop and self-employment conditions.
Core Focus
• Full practical cellphone diagnostics, repair, and board-level work
• Systematic e-waste assessment, salvage, and cash-recovery techniques
• Correct disposal methods that meet South African environmental requirements
• Workplace readiness: speed, quality, customer handling, record-keeping, and profit thinking
Real-Life Scenarios Covered
Learners work with actual faulty devices and mixed e-waste batches. They practise:
• Receiving a mixed bag of broken phones, tablets, and accessories
• Quickly sorting what can be repaired, harvested, or must be discarded
• Extracting high-value parts under time pressure
• Deciding safe vs hazardous components
• Calculating repair-versus-salvage profit on the spot
