The course you have linked is an Apprenticeship and to do an Apprenticeship you need to be employed in the industry as an apprentice. You could try and find a company yourself or the college can help you.
It is hard to get an adult apprenticeship though as its not fully funded so the employer will need to contribute. Also, for the 2nd year adult apprentice wages are much higher. So most company's would rather take on the young school leavers.
You can do your Level 2 without an Apprenticeship. But you will need to find work eventually otherwise you wont be able to complete your NVQ and you need to fully qualify to enable you to move onto Level 3.
I and part way through my Level 2 Plumbing at a local college. I do one day per week. I also work for free for a local plumber to get experience and then work a cleaning job so I have a wage coming in (whilst juggling 2 kids!).
The hard work has paid off though as I have a meeting with a Plumbing Company next week who are looking to take me on full time (except the day I'm at college). The wage is rubbish but I honestly don't care. I'm just made up to finally be working in the Industry 🙂
So while it is possible to do the course without a job first you will need to eventually. And you will probably need to work for free/very little. So something to consider.
Good luck!
