Cutbacks are happening across the public sector with implications for the private sector as well. For some, this might mean looking for fresh opportunities whilst for others, the need to diversify their skillsets and service provision. Construction industry projects continue to revive after the period of recent recession as new development schemes are announced almost daily.This means that for both men and women who are now seriously thinking of retraining in a traditional secure skills trade, there is renewed opportunity for trained and qualified plumbers, electricians, gas fitters, tilers, etc. Despite the current economy drive, many trade companies still have a difficulty in recruiting properly trained and qualified plumbers with understanding, knowledge and experience to correctly install the different types of systems.The constant problem for many interested to retrain is that they need to still work during normal hours to earn an income and may find it difficult to find time to study.However, there is now one excellent way which provides the ability to both study and stay in work!
