Here at Able Skills we often welcome students through our doors who are looking to change their careers. Over the last year, we have seen this even more. Peoples reasons for wanting a fresh start to their working life are always unique, for one person it may be a financial decision and for another, it may be because they want to get hands-on with a trade. However, in the case of Amandeep, it was because he had grown bored of his previous role as a Graphic Designer and was keen to re-train as a Plumber.
What Course Did You Do & Why Able Skills?
“I am just finishing my City & Guilds Level 2 Plumbing Qualification. I chose Able Skills because of the professional look of the website and when I spoke to a member of your team on the phone they were able to advise me on what courses would be best for me given the experience I had and the path I wanted to follow.”
Amandeep was coming to us at Able Skills with no experience in the Plumbing industry at all. However, having enrolled on our Level 2 Course he has now learnt all the skills that will allow him to take the first step towards becoming a qualified Plumber with industry-recognised qualifications behind him.
What Is Your End Goal With This Training?
“One day I want to work as a self-employed Plumber. However, I understand that I still have aspects of the industry to learn, so in the near future I hope to just head out into the industry and gain more experience and to refine my skills.”
Over the last year with so many people deciding that a fresh start is what they want it is no surprise that we have so many students with the aim of becoming self-employed. However, when you research further into this you will discover that the UK finds itself in the middle of a Skills Shortage at the moment. Learning a trade like Plumbing with the aim of becoming self-employed means that there will be no shortage of work for you and your new skills!
What Advice Would You Give To Someone In A Similar Situation To You?
“You just have to do it. I spent so long waiting for the right moment but there never really is that perfect time. Once I had made my decision and paid for the course I was committed and excited about the future.”
Of a lot of people taking the final step is often the hardest decision. It is a big gamble and we understand this. That is why here at Able Skills we are determined to provide the highest standard of training possible to all of our students. Because the first experience you will have of your chosen industry will be the interactions you have with our instructors. By making this experience a positive one we believe that it will set the tone for your career in your chosen industry!
