Red,

The best advise you will ever get in your entire life. Go for the 10 week course @ £4900 + VAT.   http://www.viyplumbingtraining.co.uk/

That seems to be the Union Rate. One of the Franchise companies you see advertised wanted to charge £750  Saw his van about for four weeks I wonder what happened.

Plummers must have a Forum aswell

Could be worth it.

I must admit the phone calls ebb and flow but I still get enough but am not pulled out with work although after 15 years I am 'dug in' so a quiet week for me may not be for other which I understand, I've just had a blood transfusion at the 'Hospital Halliday' so I feel raring to go and it shows as I have mentally got the phone to ring ever since.

Look into my eyes, not around the eyes.

Spoke to him last week, he's still suffering badly with his back but is getting on well with his courier job, he's probably driven past most of our places in the last year as he gets all over the UK.

10 weeks to be a qualified plumber  ;D

Try telling my Brother that, fully qualified plumbing and heating engineer and Corgi registered trainer. apprenticeship period 4 yrs.  ::)

He's had these speed trained guys working with him and has had to send 'em packing.

The best advice he can give them  after wedging out all that money is apply to  BG for a years on site training and with a bit a luck they might take you on after on 'pipe bending 'duties with the occasional rad valve replacement.

In the goldrush it was found that the people who made the most money were selling shovels.
