Boiler breakdown courses

[Connor Williams]

Hello all,

Can anyone recommend a good refresher training course on boiler maintenance and breakdown?
I completed a three year plumbing apprenticeship many years ago but left the business in 1998 and now lack the knowledge when dealing with Combi boilers etc.
There are several available on the internet but any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, many thanks.

All the best,
Connor

your best bet is to get in touch, with the individual manufacturers. find out what they are offering free, and what freebies you get with them!!

the companies are not bothered, if you sit their training course, they think you will be fitting their boilers, even try to bribe you with their free gifts.
most of the information you learn on one course is generally transferable to all combi boilers!!

Try Mr Combi at Mr Combi: Combination Boilers, boiler installation training Bedford UK its not fantastic but its a start he goes through all fault finding etc.

i took a look at that mr combi site a while ago, was a little put off by it as it looks like he does it in his garage or garden shed. didnt look very official to me,

was it any good? come out with any freebies?
