What Manufacturers courses are best for boiler breakdowns?

 

[howbeef]

I've done quite a few manufacturers courses and they only ever train you on the current models, which is ok if you are going to be working on the current models for your job. Best course was the Baxi 3 day one, they get you to understand the sequence of operations a boiler goes through when it is working, once you get that, all boilers are pretty much the same. They cover multimeter use too, I found it very useful.

The Baxi 3-day gets top marks from me.

3 days sounds like a long course where abouts is that ?

I found worcester one day courses to be very good

 

[stratplus]

Did mine @ Warwick BDHR Training. 1 Day basic electrical all about multi-meter use and expected readings, 1 day combi appreciation which was sequence of operation etc and 1 day fault finding putting what you learnt into practice.
£75 each day incl buffet lunch and a manual for each day included.
Alot to take in, and well worth it.

Funnily enough I was talking to David Keery about this on Thursday. Any good?

 

[millar2000]

Have to say it was
-Went into a lot of detail on how they work (over a full range of different manufacturers)
-Sequence of operation
-how to use a multimeter
-how to test components

Baxi 3 day course in dart ford, sticks in my mind as the best of two. Woodys boiler training in back of gas safe mag was disappointing, thing
k I posted ages ago why

If your fitting baxi and are in the kent area get in touch with the rep Andy Peck, currently has a 1 day fault finding course at the dartford training centre on 13-14 of this month but you will only get it if you are fitting his boilers and he will know who is and isn't as he is in touch with the local merchants and loves a chat

Im only newly qualified mate,worked for a firm who mainly did combi to combi swaps and bathrooms trying to get my experience up on breakdowns etc but its proving quite difficult as im not with a firm at the moment.How does everyone else get experience?

Jumped in two feet blindfolded and handcuffed. You either sink or swim.

gaining experience is often very difficult it might be worth offering to service family and friends boilers for free to get exp then at least you can take your time they used to say you wont make money if you cant service quickly so a lot of guys may not be able to help even if they wanted too there just to used to doing it their own way as for breakdowns if your apprehensive rabbit and head-light springs to mind

 

[beesley121]

Ideal free

You sure ideal are free? Says £50 on website

 

[Ermintrude]

Ring rep and tell him you want to fit his boilers. Never pay for owt. I could be from yorkshire?
