To be honest, you can get as much info from technical books that come from new oil boilers, burners,analysers & other things linked to oil, to cover the basics. And they are free! Most of the rest is experience, or gaining from other guys what they know. Save your money & read everything you can, learn from Internet, like this forum & consider helping an engineer who works regularly at oil burners. Oftec books are more about regulations, so not much good for hands on.

If I was you I would book myself on some manufacturers courses they are usually free, When I started I did a course with riello, ecoflam, grant,worcester and firebird. You will pick up loads of good information. Grants course is excellent and apart fromthe burner course it is free.

I did a course at Worcester (but I'm sure there are others). I was on my own and my tutor asked if I knew how to fault find with a multimeter. Spent the next 5 hours or so learning this as he said that just about all faults can be found by using a multimeter. (Cost £50 for the day.)
