Apple made available the full Service Source CDs commercially available a year or so back for a few hundred bucks the set. They're freely available on ebay and elsewhere. What they were doing was widening the availability of Apple-knowledgeable techs, who did Mac repairs, but were never going to bother to become certified techs (I've seen the exams, they're damn difficult! You really have to be a hardware engineer - Kyle, are you one?).
I had a buddy a while back (now back in the US) who was a CS and Elec Eng graduate and a cert tech with a v. strong embedded HW background. He left Apple tech 'cos it was "too boring" and he preferred surface mounting ICs to see what would happen when he soldered them all together and gave it 240 volts of juice. He also clocked his PB 5300 bus to 40Mhz with a soldering iron, while holding a milk shake in one hand and a hot dog in the other. Not a bad effort.
