City & Guilds Level 2 Plumbing Course
This is a 6 week comprehensive course designed for those who are looking to gain a qualification that allows them to find work on site. Yes, you do get a certificate for the introduction, but it's not enough to gain a CSCS Card. Leaving with the skills and knowledge to find work, a lot of students are actually able to offer private work when finishing.

Here's where flexibility meets world wide recognised qualifications. We give you the choice of gaining your Level 2 in Plumbing via a combination of Home Study learning and 4 weeks of practical. These 4 weeks will be broken down into 1 week blocks and can be booked only when you feel up you are up to scratch with the theory. How do I learn the theory? Everything you need to know is in the Home Study Pack we send out to you!
