Friends

Going to book into get my ticket

Can I ask what prior knowledge I need?

I've never installed one, have worked on one with Stan ages ago.

Working on one Saturday with another chap & again Sat afternoon.

Am I expected to know the ins & outs or is that what they teach?

I don't want to waste £150/200.

Cheers all

Depends where you go mate. I did mine at Vaillant in Maidstone. Very relaxed with lunch provided. Can't remember the cost but trainer excellent and small groups they will provide you with course book and tell/teach you everything you need to know.

Print off installation instructions for any unvented cylinder. Its all in there, plus if you have done a couple you will be ahead of most.

You won't. If you're talking about practicing installing them then that is more of a college thing but if you can plan pipe routes, pipe bend and solder to a reasonable standard then you'll have no difficulty. They will touch on some basic fault finding and diagnosis as well as explaining in depth the safety devices and their correct operation.

Thanks all. I'm not looking to install but fault find & fix then yes
