Yes bye there products lol
Chat to reps

 

[Howsie]

Phone them up and ask. No need to blah.

 

[Linkyplumb]

Speak to the reps. Simple as that. Any rep worth their salt will bend over backwards for you

Just tell them you will be fitting their boilers if you get some training. Nobody with half a brain pays. You are selling their product and they know it so want to keep you sweet.

A few years back Ariston were doing factory trips and i went on 3 to Italy and only fitted about 10 of their boilers but then again the rep was my mate
Btw those were the best trips i ever went on. Staying in Sirolo the factory is just outside Ancona. Great all expenses paid (even the lappies) trips but there is no money about these days for any of that.

I was booked on a Vaillant course last year plus others but I don't remember which but it is written in the diary. Couldn't make them as had to move for work. All I did was give them a call all very friendly people if i remember right who were happy to book me in. If every manufacturer was local I'd get on all of them.

Baxi do courses close to me but they are not free, there's a few they offer at £75.00 a day. Will book time off to go to these when i can afford to.

Going to try and get on as many coures as i can because my fault finding knowledge is close to non existent.

Ash, mate, PM me your email address. I've done the 3-day Baxi course (brilliant and well worth the money). I'll scan the handouts they gave us and email them over to you. I still carry them around with me as handy reference guides, and they will give you a solid grounding in how to troubleshoot boilers..

I'd still recommend going on the courses to get the hands-on experience, but you'll have a headstart..
