How do I get qualified to be a Plumber?
The traditional way has been for 16-24 year olds to train via college or apprenticeship routes, over a number of years before becoming qualified, with very limited opportunities for mature students.
Nowadays however, due to College Courses being oversubscribed, apprenticeships limited, shortage of qualified plumbing tutors, ambition and lifestyle changes - this route is far too long, especially for those wishing to start or change career direction.
Easy Plumb - Train the easy way
Learn Theory - Easy Plumb Introduction and Easy Plumb Advanced contain the theory as taught at college, but as you study at your own pace, you have the chance to cover the ground far more quickly than a set college programme which by definition has to account for average learning abilities. You can also do this bit without giving up your current salary.
Put Theory into Practice - Take a practical course; this will help you gain valuable experience
through City & Guilds approved workshops, run by tutors who have a wealth of knowledge and experience, and who will train you
to the highest standards. Based on your budget and available time, let Easy Plumb get you to the level
you want.– C&G / NVQ / Corgi. Visit our workshops
