Don't have the time?
If you already have an existing job or simply prior arrangements that mean you are unable to commit to a 6-week course, know that we do offer some alternative training methods...Including the ability to take this course in it's entirety over a series of weekends instead of on a Monday to Friday basis. Hopefully this option to study with us on the weekend is useful for some of you who find they have little time on their hands during the week. We also offer a 'Home-Study' option - Our Home Study Level 2 Plumbing Course hopes to reduce the amount of time needed here at our centre by providing you with the materials needed to learn the theory side of the course at home, before returning to us for 4-weeks to learn the practical side and complete assessments. The 4-weeks can be chosen by you and should be separate!
