Is the IPC-7711/7721 a theory or practical training?

The IPC-7711/7721 training is both a theory but above all a practical training. In the theory module, mainly Chapter 1 of the book is discussed. In practice, the participants learn how to solder wires together (splicing), how to solder and desolder THT components and how to solder and desolder SMD components. Also modifications (jumper wires) to all types of components (both THT and SMT). Each participant has his own soldering station with the corresponding soldering tips and magnification aids (loupe / microscope) available. Finally, there are also PCB repair modules. How can you repair the base material of a printed circuit board, pad repair, conductor repair, etc.
