Well done.
>Go ona boiler maufacturer's day course or two on their combis. They're quite low intensity but you can ask loads of questions.
>Get ALL the manufacturers Instructions you can, and read, and read. Boring, but you get to see how they can be a bit different.
>Get hold of a scrap combi or three, get the manual, and see what goes where, strip everything down. Invaluable.
>Get a surface thermometer - needn't cost the earth. Find mates with combis, and probe around to see what happens. Do a few free services, eg taking fans out to clean. They'll take ages at first.

Learning about new combis is ok but it's when they're old and don't come apart like it says and they leak and have 3 faults, that you find out what they're like.
