What is a blended course?
This course is both classroom-based and online.
There is a shortage of plumbers in the UK due to the demand of new housing being built – Totaljobs statistics says there is a shortage of over 30,000 plumbers. The number of plumbing jobs advertised over the last 12 months has increased, so there is no better time to become a qualified plumber to start a career and always be in demand.
Rather than being stuck behind a desk all day, plumbers get to work in different environments and work with their hands and actively solve problems. There is rarely a dull moment in plumber’s career.
If you wish to change the direction of your career and retrain, or if you are starting your career path, then qualifying to become a plumber with our training providers could lead you to a great salary and job satisfaction.
