Just wondered if anyone knew of anywhere in the North West that can do me a refresher course for my CIGA1.
Basically im booked in at Sgas Blackpool for Friday for an assesment and open book exam.
Now Im not worried in the slightest by the open book, or really the assesment.
My main worry is that I will do it the way I have been doing it, which although safe, may not be the way or in the order Sgas expect me to do it.
So I feel I could be doing with maybe an hour or two training just to get me upto speed on the exact and precise way of servicing the boiler.
Im aware I will just follow the instructions for servicing it, and the fault finding on the various safety devices such as controls like flame rectification, UV, Pressure switches and stat etc doesnt worry me at it, its just Im not sure on how THEY will want me to do it.
Do they want me to test the pipework before I service?
Will they expect me to use a different manometer for adjusting the burner pressure?
Will they want me to turn off the gas before I open the boiler up then turn it on?
I have heard so many different ways that people have had to do these courses that Im worried that my knowledge of servicing boilers and testing them is now not the way to do it.
The unfortunate thing is Sgas dont do any refresher course, just a straight on assesment and exam.
Now it been almost 4 years since doing my commercial gas, and although I have used it almost daily and I have been involved with people servicing and commisioning boilers I could really do with a refresher.
So if anyone could give me any help, on somewhere in the North West that will do a refresher course, Or if someone could even give me a run down of exactly how I should service this boiler on Friday I would appreciate it greatly.
