Summary
In this year-long, fees-free introductory course, you will learn the hands-on skills and theory required to enter the plumbing, gasfitting, and drainlaying industries. Learn up-to-date technology and trends from industry-expert tutors, who can help you gain the foundations to move into an apprenticeship with confidence.
Career/further opportunities
The course is designed to give you foundational knowledge, skills, and confidence. The next step if you are looking to become a fully-qualified tradesperson, is to complete an apprenticeship. For those who do not pursue apprenticeships, on completion of the initial course, this qualification does provide useful technical understanding to work in jobs relating to these industries, such as a salesperson for a retailer, or for a company selling these products within the industry to licensed practitioners.Events
