Why Plumbing?
Plumbing is one of those trades that is and will always be in demand. Every business, homeowner, residential building, school, organisations and so on will all need the services of a plumber. Plumbing is reliable in that sense and is a trade often worked on a self-employed basis especially if the individual has Gas training. A plumbers role is rewarding and doesn't follow a regular schedule, as a plumber, you could work in a variety of environments. You may find yourself working on a construction site laying brand-new sanitation systems. You may also work in a residential home or even a care setting. In fact, you could be anywhere that plumbing and central heating systems are fitted or need to be installed.
What's the best way to start?
If you're serious about starting a new career in the trade then you'll want to look at our City & Guilds Level 2 Plumbing course. This is the ultimate starting point for any aspiring plumber. Starting with the very basics and progress to a comprehensive understanding of domestic plumbing covering both the theory and practical sides of the trade to enable you to work successfully as a Plumber. Our instructors are experts in the trade, there is no better place to get a head start, they have been teaching now for years and know how to convey the important lessons they learnt when starting out themselves.
