Why 5 Weeks Rather Than 7?
Able Skills Gas Training Courses are Bpec Accredited
Good question! If you already hold existing Plumbing Qualifications like the City & Guilds Level 2 Plumbing Course, you immediately become eligible for the 5 week Gas Training Course due to the pipe skills you would have learnt training as a Plumber. The first 2 weeks of the 7 week course consist of exactly this and therefore give you a head start over those who may not be quite as experienced.
