When starting a new career we want the best advice to help us progress as fast as possible. Why wait around when the opportunities out there are too big to miss? That's why we explain to our students that we do not offer any false impressions and that we really mean what we say about our courses, especially when explaining what they can do for your career. Offering courses for several different trades, today we discuss what one of our many gas courses can do for you.
At some point in our lives, whether it be through work, sport or hobby, we started out as a beginner. The aim is to move from such stage as quickly as we can with the intention to become an expert in the given field. Our New Entrant Gas Training Package 3 is most certainly one which will take those with little to no previous experience with domestic plumbing or gas work, to breaking through the door of the industry on the 7 week course. Sound good? Let's see exactly whats covered in the 7 weeks and what happens after.
The package comprises of:
- Comprehensive gas and plumbing training
