Frequently Asked Questions

No. Start with Beginner modules such as Watchmaking Basics. We build up from core bench habits (handling, cleaning, lubrication fundamentals) before moving to full movement service routines.

We list essential tools in each course overview. Most learners begin with a basic bench set: quality screwdrivers, tweezers, movement holder, loupe, and cleaning supplies. As you advance, you’ll add specialty tools per movement family.

Certificates are issued upon completion of assessments with passing scores. If an assessment requires photo/video verification, we provide clear submission requirements and turnaround expectations.

We release updates on a regular cadence, documented in course change logs. When we revise procedures (e.g., lubrication points or part-handling), we note what changed and why, so you can keep your workflow consistent.

You can start on a budget if you prioritize a few reliable essentials. We highlight where precision matters most (tweezers, screwdrivers, magnification) and where budget options are acceptable early on (some consumables and storage).

Most learners do well with 3–5 hours per week. If you can dedicate a single focused session plus a short review session, you’ll progress steadily without rushing delicate procedures.

The core focus is mechanical watch repair. However, many bench skills transfer directly (diagnostics discipline, cleanliness, handling). If a module includes quartz-related context, it’s clearly labeled in the course overview.
