Hi im paul im 32 just qualified on a level 2 plumbing foundation course through bpec. im in motor trade and want to transition over to plumbing this year as hate cars now after 12 years in trade.

i finished the weekend course in dec 17 and waited/ fought a year for certificationeven though was told i passed in jan 18. i would like some help or advice as to getting into trade.

thank you paul
 
Hi Paul and welcome,
Good luck with the transition, I know a mechanic that can't stand the sight of an adjustable spanner.
 
It's a difficult trade to move into I think.
If you were a boy I'd say find someone that needs help and work for free (or very little) but going from a job your experienced in, to be a novice plumber won't be easy financially.
You can know everything there is to know but the INSTINCT to jump towards a burst pipe takes some experience and plenty of mistakes!
