Students gaining DIY practical experience on our Plumbing courses!

Here at our training centre this week we are helping plumbing students gain hands-on practical skills. In our workshops they will learn first-hand the skills they will eventually need when entering the industry. However, our plumbing courses are not just for those looking  to work towards a new career, they are also great for those looking to gain some DIY skills to then complete tasks around the house. Our Introduction to Plumbing course is a great way to learn the fundamentals of the trade and will give you the confidence to carry out basics task with no issues. This 5 day plumbing course has been recognised by City & Guilds as a comprehensive introduction to plumbing so upon successful completion of this course you will receive an Able Skills certificate assured by City & Guilds confirming your new-found knowledge on the basics...

Interested in the course?

This 5-day Introductory course although it is very short, will pack in a lot of information. This is a comprehensive look at the basics taught by our expert instructors who have years of experience both working out in the industry themselves and now teaching here at our centre. The course will be  entirely hands on and will not focus much on the theory but will instead look to give you some real time spent in our workshops learning directly with the tools of the trade. For many this course will act as a taste of the trade, meaning upon completion many students go on to continue training with us through our City & Guilds Level 2 Plumbing course which is 6-weeks and will greatly expand on these basics and will ultimately teach you to become a professional plumber from scratch.

During this 5 day domestic plumbing course you will learn:

  • Plumbing systems and fittings
  • Soldering techniques
  • Jointing, bending and pressure testing copper tube
  • Dealing with valves, taps, cisterns
  • Plumbing pipework
