The Level 2 Plumbing Course
As stated above, if you want to take things to the next level and start working out on site, then this is your best bet for the best start to the industry. Ran on a full time and part time basis, we offer flexible training that GIVES you the skills required to seriously start a career in plumbing. Ran over 6 weeks, students will be trained on both theory and practical to give you that important qualification for getting started in work!
After gaining some experience in the real world such as on your typical work sites or even with a local firm , students we've spoke to always find private work on top of this and increase the amount of money they make by charging whatever they want!
The Level 2 NVQ
Gained industry experience? Well now it's time to get your Level 2 NVQ! If you know anyone who already works in the industry, then ask them just how much weight having an NVQ holds. As the demand for construction has increased, naturally firms are looking for those with superior skill sets and the NVQ gives you exactly that. It's not something everyone has, but it's certainly something everyone is working towards to earn the bigger bucks.
Around The World With City & Guilds
A lot of people know that our Plumbing Courses are City & Guilds accredited, but not many know that having such qualification under your belt means you can travel around the world and work as a Plumber at the same time. Heard about people working in Australia? Well that's how they did it. They enrolled onto a world recognised accredited course and from there the world became their oyster.
So many students who successfully completed their Level 2 Plumbing Course with us came back for our Gas Training Courses too. Luckily, we offer a 5 week version of our 7 week New Entrants Gas Course exclusively for anyone who has previous Plumbing Qualifications.
This has become a natural stepping stone for Plumbers who then want to work with Gas also and sign up to the Gas Safe Register!
