Since the first Heathkit mail-order catalog was distributed by Edward ('Eddie') B. Heath in 1926, Heathkit has enjoyed an exceptional reputation for technical engineering excellence and product quality. Winning more US-German-Japanese engineering awards than any other engineering company of its day, Heathkit grew to become the premier provider of on-site ("we will never let you fail") electronic engineering kits. By 1974, Heathkit Educational Systems was born and began developing technical training materials for use in schools, corporations, and independent study situations all over the world. Today, from its corporate headquarters located in Benton Harbor, Michigan, Heathkit Educational Systems (HES) develops and distributes technical education curriculum, courseware, and hardware to assist academic institutions, corporations, training centers, and 'self-study' users worldwide.

Heathkit learning tools prepare you to succeed. That's because each of our materials is developed with a philosophy of learning that integrates visual, auditory and hands-on learning tactics - we call it 'the Heathkit Approach.' And since we focus on the 'why' as well as the 'how', technical reasoning and troubleshooting become second nature to our students.
The Heathkit Approach is something we've been perfecting for over 75 years. So whether you're an IT student, instructor, educator, or employer, nobody prepares you to succeed like Heathkit Educational Systems.
