Train4Jobs Advice Do I or Don't I?

[Andrew Bailey]

Good Afternoon All,

I have recently signed up for a plumbing course with Train4Jobs. I had a rep come out my house twice within a week. the second visit was to sign me up for the course and made it seem like they were doing me a favour. I originally wanted to become a gas fitter, but was advised that i needed a plumbing qualification first and then do my Gas Safe, is this true?

I am a it concerned it is too good to be true and the rep that came to my house struck me as a used car salesman (excuse the stereotype). Would i be better off going to a local college to get my NVQ's and eventually my Gas safe qualification?

I am still within my 14 days cooling off period, is it a wise decision to cancel before i have people chasing me for money?

Little White search box in top righthand corner, use that and you will find loads on the subject.

You can do gas without plumbing qualifications.

Thanks Scott, does it benefit to do plumbing first or not?

Hi Andrew

I would strongly advise if you have time and funds behind you then the conventional college route would be the best option. The reason I say this is because I am currently doing an intensive course myself! Unfortunately I don't have the time to go through the college route. As I have commitments.
I am lucky to be working with a friend in the industry on weekends to apply what I am learning, which is such a relief.
The practical outways the classroom stuff by far!

The gas is even more intensive! Everything condensed into 6 weeks!! I don't regret doing the course, but given the opportunity and a different circumstance then I would go down the college route.

But like I said it depends on your circumstances?


If you need any info just PM me and I will try and help you. All the best

You will certainly learn a lot from going on the course but forget about gas until your a competent plumber

Pass and gain experience as a plumber first and then look at gas?
