Qualified Plumbers; Advice please. All aspects of plumbing questions and answers, help, tips and information

Looking on doing this course later this year..

http://www.ppltraining.co.uk/plumbing_t ... sional.asp

Can ya just have a quick look and then answer these questions please.

After this course is completed what else do i need to become a Level 2 Qualified plumber? (Is it just C&G 6089)

How long roughly will the C&G 6089 take? and am i right in thinking i have to be employed within the industry to gain the 6089?

If so, do you think i will find it easier to gain working having the other certificated and be only needing the C&G 6089?

Any other information you think i should know?

I realise this isn't the ideal way to become a plumber, but I'm 23 and work in an increasingly unstable motor industry, and I'm looking for a way out before I'm forced out!

Cheers

These qualifications arent worth nothing and wont get you a job. Plumbing firms take apprentices from local colleges, and look for time served plumbers to employ. The only way to get the NVQ level 2 is to start up on your own. Plumbing is becoming over subscribed, you have been warned.

Do 1 years training
