As an accredited City & Guilds approved training centre, Able Skills is in a position to offer a variety of training and assessment courses in order to achieve plumbing qualifications.
We are aware that not everyone is in a position to dedicate long periods of time to training and so we have developed smaller, more affordable training programmes which can still provide successful candidates with City & Guilds certification.
City & Guilds 6218
This particular 2 week course will give individuals the opportunity to receive comprehensive plumbing training and undertake an assessment process to achieve 5 accredited units taken from City & Guilds 6218 Construction Diploma.
The City & Guilds certificate and portfolio obtained at the end of this training course will enhance your skills and is very useful if you are already working in a role which may require you from time to time to undertake plumbing repairs or similar.
Progression
Once this course has been completed successfully, there are opportunities for progression. If you have enjoyed the course and you feel that Plumbing is the career for you, you can consider upgrading to a full City & Guilds 6189 level 2 Plumbing Diploma or as stated before, entry onto a gas training programme.
