Intensive Weekend Plumbing Courses

Able Skills is keen to make training available to anyone who is looking to gain a new skill.  If you have commitments Monday – Friday but would still like the opportunity to learn aspects of domestic plumbing, we can offer you our Intensive Plumbing courses over a period of 2 consecutive week end periods per course.

The course content remains unchanged, 5 days training condensed into 4. The quality of training is not affected and you will still receive the same expert tuition as is delivered on our full time, weekly courses.

These courses are entirely hands on and we are confident that you will gain a great deal of plumbing ability and will have gained a very good basis to undertake plumbing tasks, even in this short period of time.

We have a training centre dedicated to intensive and advanced short course plumbing in which these particular courses will be undertaken. This centre is completely equipped with all of the tools and materials required to undertake these training programmes and to simulate domestic plumbing situations as best as possible.

These weekend courses will not qualify you as a plumber but Able Skills can provide you with that opportunity should that be your choice. We are an approved City & Guilds training and assessment centre and successfully deliver City & Guilds 6129 – Level 2, including the opportunity to obtain this qualification with training at weekends.

These plumbing courses are designed to cover all areas of domestic plumbing. However, If there are any additional requirements you have or any specific projects you are looking to cover, we will do our best to accommodate you and structure a plumbing course to suit you individually.

It is essential you bring suitable clothing and for your own safety, steel capped footwear is essential. No previous experience is necessary in order to take part in any of our plumbing courses.

With these new skills you will have the confidence to take on everyday DIY projects around the house or develop your expertise to a career in plumbing.

Should you decide that you would like to gain plumbing qualifications, we can offer you training to achieve City & Guilds 6129, training in 8 weeks or City & Guilds 6129 – Weekend training.
