Wanted, NVQ 2 experience after completing level 2 diploma

[Ben Slade]

Hi all, im new to this site and know many people have probably been on here asking for experience and mates jobs. However here i am giving it a shot.
I left the military this year i traded as a vehicle mechanic and now working for a main dealer plant company.
I am just completing my diploma in plumbin g and heating through a private construction academy.
I am finding it hard to get contacts for my nvq experience as nobody wants to know which is understandable as blokes are busy or dont want a third wheel on the job.
I am determined to become a qualified plumber if there is any help around the South Wales area or if you can just give me advice it will be greatly apprechiated.
Please excuse the spelling
Cheers. Ben.

That is a relief as my wife has set my iphone to welsh, so it does not bother to auto correct!

Hi this is off topic .. can I ask you which company you did your course with and how much did it cost please

 

[Ben Slade]

Hi Mo s, I study with south west construction academy in Bristol. I think the course was around 2k but don’t quote me on that they do have a website.

 

[Mo s]

Hi Ben thank you for replying I just wanted to research about the plumbing courses and good luck with getting the work experience brother

What do you need experience in

TBH your best option is to start at the bottom as a mate once you pass and work your way up

The problem your finding / getting is you have no experience/ on the job

Cheers Shaun, I have work lined up as a mate for when I qualify it’s commercial not domestic but it’s work and experience.
