Boiler training courses.

[howbeef]

Hi, I need to do some boiler training courses, I am going to do the Vaillant one first. Which other ones are good?

 

[Dotty]

Baxi.

 

[Dsgas]

Worcester, agree Baxi is also good.

 

[Ermintrude]

Ideal logic , actually teach like its a real course.

I'd do the baxi 3 day course first then as many others as you can, main thing is to be doing breakdowns regularly

 

[Masood]

Agree with the above. Baxi 3-day course is a really good foundation in seeing boilers as a system and following the sequence of operations as a logical flow.

Then all the other manufacturer courses for specific hints and tips.

Thanks for all the replies, I will be going on the Baxi 3 day one as well by the looks of how popular it has been.

Central Heating Combination Boilers: Fault Finding and Repair: Amazon.co.uk: John Reginald: Books. This book is a good one for reference if your new to faultfinding

Did the Ravenheat free one today, found it very good, but I have nothing else to compare it with yet. I am booked on the Vaillant one in Sep and the Baxi in Oct. I have got a copy of John Reginald's book and that looks good too. Thanks again for the replies.

Yeh, be difficult to Compare ravencheap to valliant or bakki.

Try and write down what was on courses as u will forget and they tell u lots of tricks and handy tips.

Smoked the bakki, but never tried the others

 

[Ermintrude]

Ideal bakki at weekends dress up as Vokera.

Go on courses for rubbish boilers as it probably help u understand them and also they probs be the ones you fixing.

Went on a free Course at Baxi messing with the Main Eco Elite when it came out last year. keep meaning to do the Baxi 3 day thing, their set up was great. taught us how to strip the main down to just its casing, very in depth considering it was free

I've done loads over the years, usual drill: Morning is sales pitch & afternoon you may get your hands on a boiler, but not always!
On reflection the best one I ever did was Main, so I guess any Baxi/Potty one would be good.
