Introductory Plumbing Courses

Welcome to Able Skills 5 day Introductory Plumbing Courses

Able Skills has devised a 5 day plumbing course which is entirely hands on and will suit a wide variety of people across the board.

This course can be used as a taster for those of you who are considering moving onto Plumbing qualifications but it is equally suited to those of you who are just looking to gain a bit of background knowledge and domestic plumbing skills to undertake simple plumbing tasks at home.

Both Kitchen and Bathroom plumbing features are covered, including learning how to cope with any emergency plumbing tasks around the house.

We are aware that plumbing tasks are varied and complex and we are not offering this course with a promise of making you a qualified plumber.

What we are offering is the opportunity for you to learn the basic principles of domestic plumbing in order for you to tackle some of those jobs around the house that have been needing attention for some time with the option to progress should that be your choice.

Our 5 day learn plumbing courses will act as a great basis for understanding plumbing requirements but we do recommend that you consider qualification training if you want to sustain a long term career as a Plumber.

If after completing this course you find that the time spent with us has been an experience that you would like to continue, then you can consider our 5 day Advanced Plumbing Course or look towards City & Guilds qualifications, a career in plumbing, NVQs or even gas qualifications and eventual Gas Safe registration.

Able Skills considers itself to be a progression training centre and we have everything in place to provide you with every opportunity to move forward in whichever direction you choose.

If becoming a qualified Plumber interests you, Able Skills offers the City & Guilds 6129, level 2 in basic plumbing studies, we can also assess you once you are working within the plumbing industry in order to obtain City & Guilds 6089, NVQ level 2.

If becoming a Gas Engineer is your reason for undertaking an intensive plumbing course then you can consider our New Entrant Gas training programme

If however, you are simply looking to tackle plumbing jobs for yourself or for others, then this course will meet any expectation you may have.

Able Skills is open 7 days every week and we welcome visitors at all times. Please feel free to come along to view our facilities, have an informal chat with any one of our instructors and meet existing students.

We feel that this is an excellent introduction for anyone looking to invest in training and this option will help you decide if Able Skills is where you want to train.

We will supply all plumbing materials throughout your training time, provide and demonstrate all necessary tools to complete tasks thoroughly and competently and give you the skills and confidence needed to take on your plumbing requirements.

As well as being able to learn plumbing tasks, we will also demonstrate other important factors to maintain your safety (PPE) and additionally, encourage you to keep potential customers happy by remaining clean and tidy throughout any job you do.

Our plumbing instructors have an abundance of qualifications as well as years of industry experience. They have tailored this plumbing course using all of their knowledge to ensure that they provide you with enough skills to attempt most domestic plumbing tasks.

At the same time, they will also advise you on areas that you must not attempt without having had relevant training and qualification, ie: gas related and electrical installation tasks.

If the plumbing training you receive leaves you wanting to learn more and you want to broaden your horizons then Able Skills provides a wide variety of courses and qualifications covering the entire construction sector.

If you are still unsure if a plumbing career is for you or if you want to learn that little bit more and widen your skills knowledge, then Able Skills also offers a 5 day Advanced Plumbing course.

No previous plumbing experience is necessary in order to take part in any of these courses. This is a hands-on, practical Plumbing course and you will be involved at every stage and will be participating throughout. It is therefore recommended you bring suitable clothing and for your own safety, steel capped footwear is essential.

All Able Skills intensive and advanced plumbing courses are accompanied by extensive training notes and a competency certificate.

Learn Plumbing at the Weekend:

These courses can also be covered over 2 consecutive weekends should you have other commitments which prevent you from attending Monday – Friday. Course content remains unaffected by this.
