Can you recommend a good plumbing training provider in the Midlands?

Have a look at Riaz Plumbers,have you doin outside taps in minutes,save you a bundle.

 

I suggest you think long and hard before training to become a plumber, the industry is well overstaffed at the moment with decent apprentices & tradesmen being paid off, so career changers have very little chance.As well as any course work you may do you need supervised practical experience from a tradesman to back it all up or you will end up like many on this forum changing tap washers.

 

Henk,
As has been seaid above this is not a good time to train as a plumber.
For you to complete an NVQ level 2 or 3 you will need to get work with a company. This also goes for any ACS training.
I would forget any short courses as you WILL get ripped off.
Write to all your local pluming companies and speak to all the merchants and ask about apprenticeships.
JTL will have some information but be prepared for a long(could take years)wait for any vacancies.
As has been said apprentices and experienced tardesmen getting paid off so not the time to start looking.

Is that where you learnt.? How mant OS taps at 35 quid all in do you have to do to earn your £200 a day?

 

Do your research into where the work is before you re-train as anything.

Plumbing is overcrowded and highly cut throat at the moment. far too many plumbers chasing too little work.

You don't want to leap out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Do not believe what the training courses tell you either - it's all lies - and not just plumbing courses - most other re-training courses are a big scam. They don't care two hoots about you - only your money.

Be very very careful what decisions you make as there are plenty of sharks out there waiting to bite.

 

What job were you doing before the redundancy?

 

quid all in do you have to do to earn your £200 a day?

6,cant you count,thicko. :^O :^O

 

so, wetnec, where do you nick all your fittings from?

 

:^O

 

There are no good training providers; they are a money making racket who defraud gullable and naive fools! Fact is the plumbing and heating trade is awash with clueless course cowboys who expect to learn the job in a month after being a milkman all their life ***!

Better off stacking shelves in sainsburys and leave the trade to us established pro's!

 

so, wetnec, where do you nick all your fittings from?

You should call yerself "Mad Mullet" cos yer caught hook,line and sinker.Nows the opportunity for you to slink away.I wouldnt get out bed for £35.00 an hour let alone do a OS tap. Got to go,fitting a bathroom suite today,£50 quid. :^O :^O

 

Well said Mousey

"Construction Skills Network - Blueprint for UK Construction Skills 2008-2012" that details two phases: one of recession and one of growth. The growth phase sees the UK needing nearly 4,000 new plumbers/HVAC engineers by 2013 compared to today, so the market - in the mid-term - looks strong.....compete and utter Bulls**t!

Anyone who falls for this garbage will find out the hard way that it is not true. I wonder who writes these stupid reports. They certainly do not live in the real world.
