On the first day, delegates find out exactly how a combi works; knowing the sequence of events that lead to the boiler firing up makes it easier to work through and identify where an issue may lie when called to a breakdown. The multimeter course explains how to use this valuable tool to carry out safety checks and identify whether components are working properly. The final day, boiler diagnostics puts into practice everything delegates have learned in the previous two days.
They will work on live boilers which have been set up by the trainers with faults for them to identify and put right.

The trainer is very good - he actually set up the boilers to have faults that we had to find
"Only through a joint approach and commitment to quality training, across the plumbing and heating industry, will we help to increase the standards of workmanship in the UK and safeguard vulnerable consumers.”
Joseph Winter of Easy Gas and Plumbing Services in Congleton, Cheshire, attended Baxi’s Warrington training center for three days. Joseph says: “I’ve been in the trade for 10 years but I wanted to advance my own knowledge and had heard that these courses were good. I have learned something fresh every day on every level; in fact, it’s been a real eye-opener - I have learned things I didn’t know I didn’t know! The courses have obviously been designed for engineers and we will all come away with a better understanding of boilers, without a doubt.”
recommended in forums
Sukhi Sidhu, Gas Flow Services, Birmingham, attended Baxi’s Warwick training center to do the three-day fault-finding courses. He says: “I’ve been looking for a more hands-on course because I wanted to get more into servicing and maintenance, so fault-finding is important. I found this course by searching online - it was recommended in forums. The course has been really worthwhile, with less theory and more actual learning."
"The trainer is very good - he actually set up the boilers to have faults that we had to find. We have been able to learn what to look for and ask for help when we needed to.”
