[jack.frost]

What's the best way to learn to do breakdown and repairs? Any recommendations?

manufactoreres courses , another gas guy with plenty of experience

I was thinking that, a few companies offer courses.. What would I do if I took a job and couldn't fix it though? Would make me look like a right amateur and lose future custom

Be logical, methodical, start with the basics and just be honest with your customer 'Never worked on this particular model before, but i'll give it a go'

As others have said just get on as many courses as you can and hit the books, learn how to use a multimeter properly

a risk you run ! have an engineer to fall back on who can attend with you after
will cost you at first but in the long run you'll learn more !!

Good ideha may av2 get sum1 on speed dial...
Do you think British gas would let me go with one of their engineers if I work for free? Sounds like a long shot but maybe one of u lot know something /someone I don't .

Boiler technical services are always your friend (mostly)
a good deal of info on here for common problems and we all share experience. Is all hidden in the gas forum tho which you will have to apply to get into. It's worth it tho,there is a wealth of experience in there.
Good luck mate.
