Switching careers to Plumbing?
The process of becoming a professional plumber can be daunting, however, here at Able Skills we try to make the time spent here not only educational to the highest degree but also enjoyable, understandable and clear. We want to produce to the next generation of plumbers and release top-quality professionals into the industry. We have instructors working here that have years of experience working out in the industry for many years, they have no brought their expertise here to our training centre where they pass on their teaching to our students. We take pride in the feedback that we get and today we will be looking at how to get involved in our plumbing courses and what our recent students had to say...
Plumbing courses here at Able skills!
Before you read on, ask yourself; Do I have any experience in plumbing? If the answer is no then we recommend that you first take our Introduction to Plumbing course - This course will provide you with the fundamental basics of the trade over a period of 5-days and an opportunity to realise if the trade is really for you or not and or something you are willing to take on as a career. If the answer to the questions was yes, and you do have some previous experience, carrying out DIY at home and so on and you are comfortable in the absolute basics then you should be looking to take on our City & Guilds Level 2 Plumbing Course - This is the ultimate plumbing course and qualification for somebody looking to take the first step into the plumbing industry...
If you are interested in becoming a professional plumber but you haven't actually taken the time to be hand-on with plumbing equipment, tools and so on, then the Introduction to Plumbing course is a great way for you on a personal level to know if the trade is for you, not just that you understand the basics learnt, but that you enjoy it and could see yourself doing this type of work on a daily basis. Switching careers is a big deal and not something that you should rush into...If you have thought about a few trades maybe becoming and electrician or a carpenter, for example, then maybe taking some 5-day introduction classes wouldn't be a bad idea.
During this 5 day domestic plumbing course you will learn:
- Plumbing systems and fittings
- Soldering techniques
- Jointing, bending and pressure testing copper tube
- Dealing with valves, taps, cisterns
- Plumbing pipework
What our students had to say about the introductory course:
"Great detail with every topic, the course provided great guidance and the instructor had a great attitude and was very knowledgeable. Lot's of time on the course was spent learning hands-on practical skills. Overall I feel much more competent carrying out plumbing tasks surrounding the topics that the course covered." - C McSweeney
"I Learnt more that I expected to. The course had a nice sized class and an attentive instructor. I feel much more confident in my ability to carry out the very basics of plumbing and I'm eager to learn more!" - N Kirkpatrick
"Both instructors were very clear and were easy to follow. There instructions we always understandable and when confused any questions I had or anyone else had were answered in a very clear way that added further knowledge to the class. I feel that over the week I have progressed every day spent at the facility, learned something new everyday and improved on my mistakes, great course." - K Smith
"Basics foundations were presented well, this seems like a great start to a new career. Only over a few days, I've used the skills and stuff I learned to practice in my own time and has worked perfectly, I fitted a bathroom and 3 radiators already, can't wait to learn more." - T Lister
"I enjoyed the course as a whole, when I was stuck the instructor explained the topic in more detail and in a way that i could personally understand which felt great. I have progressed very much so. I know more than ever and than I thought I would over such a short period." - M Dix
