Right, A little update.


Does anyone know were I can get a part time course. Ideally evenings or weekends. I have 3 colleges in my area I could attended and 2 of them dont cover plumbing on a part time basis and the other doesnt start until september.

Anyone have any ideas??

Just noticed this part, sorry. Its a very slim hope that you will get anywhere legit that offers you a start at this time of the year. College calenders runs on a very strict basis, where I am as classes are timetabled in a year in advance, so no room for flexibility. A Spetember start is probably a realistic expectation.

For now, you could work with your dad as a plumber's mate (making tea, getting gear/tools, etc) This would be good experience and would give you some insight into what you need to be able to do.

You have the choice of either going down the college route on their time scale and saving money. Or you have the alternative to pay a private provider who can give you the fast track to get qualified quicker. But this comes at a price. Only you can decide if it's worth it for you.

You are in an enviable position with having your Dad as a RGI, as this is the biggest obstacle for most.
