Able Skills Bradford has devised a course for those of you who are considering a change of career and a move into the Gas industry but who have no background relating to any aspects of plumbing, gas or related trades.

The aim of this 5 day pipe-skills course is to provide individuals with a basic understanding of pipework related activities and to provide them with the best possible chance of progressing once enrolled onto Able Skills Bradford - Managed Learning Programme of Gas training and assessment.
