The Baxi training course is really good. They don't just focus on their own boilers, but give you a good grounding in how boilers work, the sequence of operations, how to use a multimeter to check components, etc. It's a 3-day course, but well worth it.

I bought the Combi fault finding book by a chap called John Reginald. Very good, well layed out book. Tells you about each component, what to look for and reasoning when faulty and goes through the basic sequence. It's a good start but ultimately i'm looking at going on manufacturers courses.

I haven't been on the Mr Combi course, but a few people who have, have said that it's not all that good - apparently they are mainly interested in selling their DVD and multimeters. This is just what I've heard and read on the forums from people who haven't enjoyed the course, so don't take it as fact!
