Here is a video showing how quick and easy it can be to repair a leaky pipe. If only all plumbing was this easy!
Must Have Plumbing Books
Whether you are interested in simply doing your own home plumbing or learning the plumbing trade you wont get very far without the humble book. I hate to admit it but plumbing books are better than websites when it comes to learning, even these new kindle devices don’t float my boat and I am a big gadget lover. Nothing will ever compare to picking up a hunk of paper and flicking to the page you need.
About Plumbing Technical Certificates
The Technical Certificate is for anyone who has not been a plumber for approx 5+ years, they simply won’t just let you do an NVQ straight off. The tech cert gives you your core training as a Plumber, there is stuff in there that will take ages to digest if you truly want to be a good Plumber. I recommend the day release, it will be cheaper to take a day off a week that spend £6,000 on one of these courses

Is Plumbing For Me?
Should I Become a Plumber
If you are going into plumbing for the money then you need to check there is demand in your area, no demand equals low wages. You will also want to go into the highest paying area which is probably gas and heating engineers but this requires the most time and work. If there is no demand in where you live you may consider relocating or commuting. Working for one of the big boys like British gas may be an option. That being said, plumbing probably won’t bless you with spectacular riches; the average plumber wage is about £26k per year. Being realistic; if you work outside of London and if you are not highly qualified or experienced you may not get close to this figure anytime soon.
What is a Plumber
What Plumbers do – Job Description
It is what work a Plumber does that makes him a Plumber and what work he/she does varies slightly from country to country in order to meet the demands of a particular society. As the UK has the most stringent requirements in place and its where I live, I will focus this blog on the world of British plumbing.
Introduction
Welcome to Courses 4 Plumber Blog – Helping you to Become a Plumber
I have seen few good guides to becoming a plumber on the net but they are all very thin on information and all of them being only a few paragraphs long , tend to leave more questions than they answer. My aim is to help you find out how to become a plumber in the UK. I will cover as comprehensively as I can, the process of starting out from the beginning. I am not here to sell a particular course so I will try not to directly mention the various training companies unless it is to do a fair comparison of them all later in the blog.
