Start-up Shopping List

[tapsworcester]

Dear Forum,

I have just spent the week at Worcester Bosch doing the Oftec-50 and going back for assessment in the near future. This has probably been requested before but I would be grateful for a 'shopping list' of all the equipment I would need to set-up servicing oil-fired boilers. Any tips on where to get what would be appreciated. Thanks

Whats the course like. Does that enable you to work on and install oil.
I know nothing about it and just wondering.

Anything with the Worcester Bosch stamp on it has to be good and it was. The Oftec 50 costs only £200 for 5 days training and this includes the Oftec books, 5 good meals and as much coffee as you can drink. I have yet to do the assessment but they knock £150 off the £500 price tag, so in other words you can join a competent person scheme for only £550. Of course you then have to register with Oftec and buy all the necessary equipment.

So... not a fan of Worcester Bosch then? I am only saying that they would be silly to offer second rate training when they dine off high price but high quality tag.

No point in reinventing the wheel.
