Get started now with our Home-Study Plumbing courses!
We are back at Able Skills providing Plumbing courses and other training every week. Unfortunately, our plumbing courses are now booked until the end of the year. There are a lot of people trying to put this year behind them and aiming to start fresh with a brand new career with the help of our Plumbing courses. However, you can still get started straight away with our 'Home-Study option' this option for training allows you to get started working towards a City & Guilds Level 2 qualification separate from our centre. Let's take a look at how this option works and how to get started...
How does this option work?
Our Home Study Level 2 Plumbing Course will start from the comfort of your own home. After booking the course we will send a 'home-Study Pack' to your address. This pack includes all of the theoretical knowledge you need when working towards this qualification. Additionally, you will also have access to the online learning platform 'Smartscreen' this is an online City & Guilds platform that can be used for reference and as another tool to learn from, there are even sample test questions on there so that you can test your knowledge as you study.

You should take at least 6-weeks to familiarise yourself with everything in the 'Home-Study Pack'. Once you are satisfied that you've studied the pack to a good level and you understand the content then you will want to contact us here at the centre to arrange 4-weeks of at centre training. These 4-weeks should be spread out and can be chosen to suit you. During this time you will get stuck in with the practical side of the trade and really learn the skills a plumber needs on the job. You will also undertake online multiple-choice exams to test all of the theory that you have learned at home as well as practical assessments to test your competency completing fundamental plumbing tasks.
What will I learn?
You will effectively learn to become a plumber from scratch. At home, you'll be looking at a huge range of Plumbing topics such as; Health and safety in building services engineering, Electrical principles and processes for building services engineering, Scientific principles for domestic, industrial and commercial plumbing, Common plumbing processes, Coldwater systems, Domestic hot water systems, Sanitation and much more. You can take as long as you see fit to absorb the information provided. During the 4-weeks that you attend the centre, you'll get stuck in with hands-on practical skills gaining the fundamentals of what plumbers daily tasks are, things like; pipe-skills, using saws and pipe cutters, checking plumbing systems for leaks and other problems, valve installation and much more as well as the health and safety principles surrounding the trade.
