Why would you want to be?
Lots of work, some grief, little thanks and no reward.
But, that aside, if you are a member of a club, they can select you, if they wish.
You will require either a considerable amount of experience, or qualifications in engineering to roughly degree level, or preferably, both.
If you are looking at the professional boiler testers as used by the "big boys" I believe you would need to be a Chartered Engineer, plus have attended various courses specific to boilers.
Probably also need certificates relating to pressure vessels and EU directives etc, too.

I am a boiler inspector and fully agree with Alan and to top it off you can't certify your own boiler anyway . Having said that, here in OZ the club nominate the person and submit the application with qualification and experience which must include building a boiler to AMBSC (the national committee ) for approval , once accepted boiler inspector for life with no thanks . Good luck |
