If you are looking to get a brief demo of the basic assembly processes and see the equipment in action, you just need an active SMTA membership to get started. Cisco graciously donated a collection of videos including Solder Paste Printing, Paneling and
Handling, Pick and Place, Chip Placement, Fiducials, Reflow, Wave Soldering, and Depanelization. This resource may be most beneficial to entry-level engineers, purchasing departments, and operators.
