repairing pc for dummies. download the free a plus tests. has a lot of question most new people getting into repairs need to know. if you have a local micro center or used unv book store look for basic electronic books and formulas. knowning how to read caps and parts and known basic eletronic math is needed. online download some free service guilds and see if you can follow there guilds.

Agree with all of the above.

Reading is good but hands-on is important. Start collecting and gathering up computers, internal components, peripherals, network components, cables, monitors, etc.

Put together some systems and get everything to work. Do the same with peripherals and networks.

Learn to install drivers, apps, and configure as necessary. Most likely you will be doing plenty of reading and/or googling for information.
