Haha!! where's that then :P no seriously though, i was interested in learning, even just as a hobby.

i see :) where do you get to learn about fault finding then!! ...

what does it teach you then! i did read somewhere a while ago that it had practical to it as well!! ...... i believed there were elements you can do as well as the main gas safety acs???

does the acs even show you how to change a faulty thermocouple? does it teach you any basic fault finding?!! ...
