Manufacturers courses

[armourer]

Hi All,

I'm new on the forum but some of you may have seen me at least attempting to answer a few questions.

Looking back through old threads I have noticed a lot of people recommending doing the manufacturers courses.

In my experience (I have attended 5 different manufacturers courses) they seem to be just pushing their latest models and with a salesman attending too who just wants you to buy the latest model, telling you how fantastic it is and to be one of their select fitters/engineers etc.

My question is have any of you found one of these courses useful in giving you an incite across their whole range (ie: fault finding older boilers) and if so what manufacturer was it?

I must admit, they are not going to tell you common faults etc as they make the best boilers you can get.:joker:

Been on the Worcester one and they told us the most common faults on the most common boilers that their engineers are reporting back.
Generally only a day at gentle pace with about 6 engineers on and excellent at answering questions.
It's nit a course to teach you the basics from scratch, they're available elsewhere but just a manufactures update which I find reasonable.
