new plumber liverpool

[wiggy]

Hi all, just thought i would say my piece being a new boy on here.
I am two mths away from completing the 6129/6089
but i have just landed a job installing bathrooms/repairs and general cold water installations. Working for a local hosing assoc. so i can offer hope to all the newbies undertaking 6129.
I have been mostly diy for years but my experience has widened as my confidence grows.
I have been finding strange attitudes to being a newbie, local plumbers tend to be very unhelpful when they find out what i do so i have been mostly trial and error so i keep in touch with my tutor for advise.
Because im only level 2 they tend to dismiss me as just a diyer.
This makes me stronger as i have seen some of their handywork and pricing!!
The 6129 has gave me a chance to prove myself and my confidence is getting stronger. I know i there is still much to learn but my drive keeps me goin and those negative attitudes.
Good luck🙂

Hi Wiggy
Welcome to the forum,pleased you have found a permeant job to go to from your training
You will find some negative response at merchants and the like but treat it like water off a ducks......
I must admit ,since joining this forum ,I have learnt a lot about todays training and the dedication and effort new trainee's put in,with little support from the people in the trade,think the recession makes it worse,hopefully you will find a little more support and respect here and if we can help,post away 😛

I started working for my self when doing my level 2s and carried on at college til I got my gas quals, and all you can do is keep b*ggering on and learning as you go. Cos I was a late starter had no problems with merchants and customers thinking I was a bit young but as long as you dont over extend yourself early on youll be ok.
Its funny but I can understand a liverpool accent on line but its all gibbberish when I was last in the great city!!
