I've done two service technician courses, both run by the manufacturesrs in question. Guess what I learned - nothing. A few hours pulling them apart and putting them back together is all a qualified service technician has in terms of expertise. The tools needed are minimal, simple and cheap. And it really is very, very easy to service a regulator. Actually I did learn that ultra posh regs share the same cheap materials and poor build quality as the cheapo ones, and share  most of the same components. If you've never looked you might be surprised at how flimsy and cheap the components of say an apeks atx200 are co mpared to an old spiro. But then they are shiny and cool.
