    Hi all

    I’m sure there’s been countless threads like this but I feel like I need some clarity for myself.

    I’ve just turned 27 and wanting to train as a plumber. I have no prior work place experience. So I’m essentially starting from scratch.

    What I’m struggling to find out is, what is the best way to go about this? How long would it take someone like me to get “qualified”? I am in full time work so anything college related would need to be evenings or weekend related. Also a ballpark figure on what it would cost to re-train?

    Thanks everyone.

    If you have 2 weeks holiday in summer you can train then to become fully qualified......and also have a week in Spain after.
    :p

    Being able to walk upright on 2 legs would be a bonus.
