Practical Offerings
Technical Programs & Consultation Clinics
Whether you run a single unit in a regional shed or operate high-voltage mining containers, our curriculum focuses on physical electrical realities and hands-on maintenance skills.
Home & Solar Micro-Mining Hands-On Workshop
A 1-day practical laboratory focused on running single-unit miners safely on residential single-phase circuits, pairing hardware with rooftop solar inverters, and building acoustic baffle enclosures.
Site Electrical & Thermal Engineering Consultation
An intensive one-on-one technical consultation and blueprint review session in our Seaton lab to stress-test your proposed commercial or shed mining facility plans before purchasing infrastructure.
ASIC Firmware Tuning & Immersion Cooling Clinic
A specialised master laboratory focused on low-voltage kernel configuration, per-chip frequency profiling, custom EEPROM reprogramming, and single-phase dielectric fluid tank maintenance.
Testing Station 2: Regulated DC bench supplies and thermal imaging station at Seaton, Victoria.

Why Physical Workshop Training Matters
Online manuals cannot replicate the sensory feedback of spotting a failing capacitor, feeling turbulent airflow backpressure against an exhaust shroud, or feeling the exact solder surface tension required to seat an ASIC chip without bridging signal pins.
At Think Workcore, training happens around live electrical sub-boards, active immersion tanks, and calibrated instrumentation. You walk away with muscle memory, safety reflexes, and practical engineering judgment.
Real Feedback
Field Notes from Workshop Participants
Accounts from solar technicians, farm operators, and regional shed managers who trained in our Seaton laboratory.
“The oscilloscope training on Day 2 directly solved an issue we had with four Antminer S19 XP units reporting dead chains. Marcus showed us how to isolate a faulty boost circuit rather than writing off the entire board. The pace during the 3-phase cabling session was extremely fast and dense with AS/NZS 3000 compliance details, so taking thorough notes is essential, but having a dedicated test bench for each student made all the difference.”
“I came to Seaton wanting to run two Whatsminer units off my 15kW rooftop solar without annoying my neighbours or burning out my domestic switchboard. Elena helped me calculate the static pressure for my acoustic baffle box and configure automated low-power curtailment. The noise dropped from 78 dBA to under 46 dBA outside the shed wall.”
