same as gas, experience and training and then you start to learn on your own
Call OFTEC and they will let you know your nearest training centre. You'll have to buy the technical books too.
It's not hard, but if you can work with an experienced oil engineer you will learn loads more than the colleges will teach you.
I have a mate I can call if I get stuck as I'm more experienced with gas than oil (done oil for years, but not so much of it).
And there is this forum which can be so helpful.
I was a bit stumped with an oil fired boiler today. I'll post it up tomorrow. Took lots of nice piccies for everyone.

A days training at Worcester Bosch is £60! Thought that was quite reasonable. Introduction to oil, spend the whole day installing and serve cing, no commissioning though.

HELLO CROPPIE
DID MY OIL TRAINING IN DUBLIN CHEVRON SERVICES good course 1000euros BUT you will do it cheeper up north also did my ACS for gas in belfast good course far better than the course i did on gas in Dublin Well as i allways say far better training in uk then in DUBLIN Far better tex books etc Doing service down here for 49.95 does not cover driveing to job And for that service they dont do letbuy test might do soundness test dont strip down burner or clean dont check heating side and dont check pressure at gas valve PLUS if they fit condensing boiler most of the time 15mm going to boiler when it should 22mm result under gassed most of the flues i have seen you can nearly hang your coat on to long DAVE01

In the good old days commercial= shops, hotels, schools, nursing home etc industrial = more factory based generally with heaters and process burners etc Thats how it was defined whilst I was at BG!
