Where to start for a plumbing apprenticeship?

[vitavita]

Hello everyone. Can any experienced plumbers recommend the best way to find a plumbing apprenticeship? And perhaps some good resources with information? Thanks

look anywhere and everywhere, if your at college beat you way to the door of the lady normally who chats up all the local firms, have a good tidy cv with no porkies in it and if you manage to get your foot in the door and get to chat with the boss, dont turn up with your arse out you jeans hiding under a hoody covering all your nose rings. Not to say your like this bit if you scare the bejesus out the new boss what are going to do for the grannies. Dont go past a plumbers van withpout asking politely if they have any leads, and you never know your luck might be in, good luck in your difficult path to success, the problem is at present to many plumbers cutting prices for the lack of money, at least it is this way in sunny n devon

Haha no i don't have any nose rings, I think i'd be good but I just need the opportunity. I have recently finished my cv and I am planning to start by contacting every plumber in the yellow pages. Thanks for the great advise.

I also did manage to find some good resources for plumbing apprenticeships information in case anyone else is looking for some:

- Video about what it's like to be a plumber
- Plumbing Apprenticeships
- Plumbing Course in Manchester
