hi all, im after some help/advice. I am an installer/fitter but basicly just want to repair boilers but only really know the basics so would like to no the best place to be able to get this experience needed, thanks.

Probably a pain but can you ask any local breakdown engineers if you can shadow them in your spare time.

cant see many repair boys wanting to train up local competition in the current environment!

It would have to be a move to another company i think, or someone that is willing to take me on as most of the guys round my area are one man bands, ideally want to get in at a boiler manufacturer.

 

[Johnnyh9]

no i cant either.

hit your reps and see if your merchants are arranging any visits etc. Mr J Reginald is a good place to start reading wise

Chat up your local merchant or spares stockist - preferably independent - and ask them to put the word around the manufacturers reps?

I do no a someone who worked for remeha, he has now started up selling spares from a little unit but he tried for me a while ago as he knew alot of people in Heateam but they wasn't taking on, there is another rep i could try who works for viessmann.
