How do you become a electronics technician?

Answer 1

Well, I am actually a technician. You just have to read alot of books on it. Go to Computer and electronic classes in college and just learn. :]

That is for beginning To be a technician I will say you must pass a written and oral test to get a job. What is real important is that you have a logical mind. IF IT DOESN'T WORK WHY NOT. There are all kinds of technician too. Instrumentation. research, production. testing. maintenance environment and not least tempest testing. Plenty of choices.

I am currently studying electronics with a online distance education course. First let me say, your heart and soul must be into this because it is HARD! I have a very strong interest since I have a excellent history and knowledge of computers, and I am passionate about electronics. Even at that, electronics is a very hard course. Study a lot of books, know the material, and know everything you possibly can. Buy or check out a number of basic electronics books, because what confuses you in one book might make sense in another. Do all the study problems. If you get an answer wrong, don't just go by the right answer, figure out what you did wrong. Practice hands on.

It is best if you can get at least an Associates, if not a Bachelors. I don't know any electronics technicians who don't have a degree. From the jobs I have looked at, every last one wants either many years of experience, or a degree, but I wouldn't expect to get hired without a formal education.

Take out several years, read books, study all materials, take things apart and learn how it works, take some classes, and know as much as you possibly can. It is massively overwhelming. BUT... it is VERY rewarding, the pay is excellent, and you will know how electronics work.

Don't do it for the money, because if you do, it will become hard and you might lose interest. Do it because you love it.

TO ADD to the good advice do not disregard application notes from manufactures for practically every component they make. But you must first lean the basic rules about simple components diodes, capacitors and so forth otherwise it can become mission inposible. to add there is many facets of electronics concentrate on one to begin with.
