I did an evening course at my local college for 4 years and told my employer and friends who gave me a few easy jobs to do which built up my confidence and gained loads of experience, now i sub contract for a local plumbing and heating company.Thank you very much for your reply. The Training provider provides practical training at the test centres. They also said in regards to the qualifications they have work at ongoing construction sites available for us to go and build up a "portfolio" to ensure we receive our accreditation and NVQ status. They're aware that this a requirement. Would it be worth it in this case?. I can't really afford to do an apprenticeship you see. This seems like a better route. But I also want to be able to receive the qualifications. The course advisor claimed that once you're qualified you won't have a problem getting hired.
Would love your input on this, thank you very much
If they guarantee you'll actually get the portfolio, then this would at least get you the NVQ.They also said in regards to the qualifications they have work at ongoing construction sites available for us to go and build up a "portfolio" to ensure we receive our accreditation and NVQ status.

I'm sceptical of that claim. The problem with employing a plumber is they can potentially be a liability if they aren't that good, so, even if you'll accept a lower wage, employers may prefer a time-served plumber with experience and documentation of years of work behind them who may be seen as less of a risk. There is not a lack of plumbers in the country - there is a lack of GOOD plumbers (and a lack of customers willing to pay for a GOOD plumber).The course advisor claimed that once you're qualified you won't have a problem getting hired.
Hello everyone, so I've decided to embark on my journey to becoming a qualified plumber. However, i am unsure if these training courses and providers are legit. My brother had an experience a few years ago that turned to be a scam. The company name is 24/7 Training UK. Weekly payments of 45 quid and I will train online and at the training centres to become nvq level 1 qualified then move onto level 2. Anyone had similar experiences with these type of companies? Thank you
