[RGII79]

your paying for the books mainly and you wont learn alot if you dont have a good foundation in heating and boiler/burners

Harsh. But accurately summed up!

 

[RGII79]

the regulation from oftec is pony anyway it just a money spinner for an organisation that is doing nothiing to protect the customers or the engineers in the oil industry letting anyone sit these courses and then certify that they are engineers , also next to no regulatory system in place to spot check engineers and boiler passports what are they lol im talking about rep of ireland here i dont know how they operate in the uk maybe better .how do u find it croppie

 

[Dotty]

To be honest never ever had an oftec inspection, religiously filled in boiler passports only for the householder to bin them, and you don't get passports on commercial anyway.

Messy, but I liked it. Boiler suit to be purchased.

Can't beat the smell of kerosene in the morning..............afternoon, evening and when you first get up

 

[Barry98]

[Dannypipe]

Too true Si, it's a smell that just doesn't give up. Hate it!

 

[SimonG]

You really need a seperate set of tools cos they end up smelling as well

 

[Barry98]
