Overview
FEA service technician training gives engineers a depth of service knowledge that supports career development and enables knowledge sharing across teams. Attendees engage directly with representatives from manufacturers in face-to-face group sessions, covering both product-specific technical content and broader service and safety topics.
Each training day is product-specific and manufacturer-led, making the content directly relevant to the equipment your engineers work with day to day. Sessions are suitable for both experienced technicians and apprentices.
Who this training is for
FEA service technician training days are designed for:
- Experienced service engineers looking to deepen their product-specific knowledge
- Foodservice equipment apprentices at any stage of their development
- Technical teams who want to improve fault diagnosis and maintenance skills
- Service companies whose engineers work with the equipment categories covered in each session
Why FEA recommends this training
Keeping service engineers up to date with the latest product knowledge, fault patterns and safety requirements is essential for any foodservice equipment business. FEA’s training days provide a cost-effective way to do exactly that, with content delivered directly by the manufacturers who know their equipment best.
At just £65 per person, these sessions offer exceptional value for both individual engineers and businesses looking to upskill their teams. The face-to-face format means delegates can ask questions, work through real scenarios and share knowledge with peers from across the industry.
What a typical training day covers
While each training day is tailored to its specific topic and equipment category, sessions typically include:
- Manufacturer-specific service and maintenance guidance
- Common diagnosis issues
- Prevalent faults that occur through lack of maintenance
- Electrical safety
- Training and protective devices
Topic-specific content is added depending on the equipment category. For example, a Combi Ovens and Ventilation day also covers:
- Extraction and ventilation requirements
- How to verify the performance of extraction and ventilation systems
Training showcase partners
Each training day features a selection of manufacturer showcase partners relevant to the topic. Partners for previous sessions have included Inox Fabrications, MKN, Lincat, Retigo and Unox.
“A great way to get an insight into products and servicing that aren’t readily available elsewhere. A great introduction to the various manufacturers.”

FAQs
Sessions run periodically rather than on a fixed schedule, with each one focused on a different equipment theme. Keep an eye on this page or sign up to our newsletter so you don’t miss the next date being announced.
It changes. Each training day is built around a specific equipment category – for example, a recent session focused on combi ovens and ventilation – with manufacturer partners relevant to that theme. Check the current session details for what’s being covered next.
It’s a genuine partnership. FEA organises the day, but the technical content is delivered face-to-face by representatives from the equipment manufacturers themselves – so you’re learning directly from the people who design and build the products, not a generalist trainer.
