ads in windows, etc, possibly see if you can follow someone who has been doing it a bit for a few weeks? How long was your course?

My brother did a course (1 week) in plastering, did a job and they said it wasn't good enough, he then got a job as a labourer for a good plasterer, he then retired by then my brother got work because he had worked with the other guy, but I think plumbing is different so you may be ok to go off and get work

Unfortunately you've now missed the start of term but there may be somewhere local who has an additional start date in January. Contact your local college to make enquiries and be prepared that you may have to wait until next September to start.

You may be prepared to employ a plumber who's done a 1 week course but I'm sure that the rest of us would prefer someone with qualifications and experience!

City & Guilds 6129 level 2.

http://www.cityandguilds.com/1650.html?sType=q&subject_or_code=Certificate+in+Basic+Plumbing+%286129%29

& then you need to complete 6089 NVQ Level 2.


Its a case of checking the link & entering your postcode on the right to see where the nearest courses are.

You will need to complete the above & then move on to Level 3 before you can go on to gas.. (there may be a way around level 3 shortly to get gas by doing other gas specific coures).

Are you sure you really want to be one? Surely if you were that interested you would know how to spell it correctly?:rotfl:

The first thing you have to learn is to take a deep intake of breath, tut a few times; then shake your head and say 'who put this in for you' as you give a small laugh.
