New courses start each month...
If you wish to start a new career by becoming a fully qualified plumber, or are already qualified in another trade & wish to acquire a new skill / qualification. We offer full courses training, at fully-equipped UK training centres & on-site work experience. Our training levels will get you qualified quicker than a further education college.
The courses are tailored to suit every entry level, from complete beginner with no prior experience - up-to trades professionals who are already part-qualified in another trade & wish to up-skill by adding another qualification to their work portfolio.
The courses are open to all adults 18yrs+ from all backgrounds, with little or no prior experience. We can help you become fully qualified - we offer the key levels 1 – 3 courses to study –
Each course is split into 4 main areas:
- Practical (in a ‘local’ training centre)
- Theory (in a class-room)
- Home Study (online & to retake exam modules)
- On-Site (national practical safe working sites, to obtain your signed portfolio-of-work).
Each course takes you from beginner, to fully qualified (both Theory & Signed Practical Portfolio), providing a grounding in theory and technologies – covering qualifications from City & Guilds to NVQ including BPEC Water Supply Regulations certificate.
Each course gives a ‘hands-on’ practical knowledge - regardless of the level. A detailed ‘blended’ learning program, gives the knowledge, skills and experience required to work efficiently and safely as a qualified electrician.
On successful completion of the City & Guilds exams, you can move-up-to an NVQ level with a signed on-site portfolio-of-work. There is a unique opportunity to convert from a City & Guilds qualification to an NVQ, in 3 - 6 weeks.
If required, you can re-take each exam module until a pass-rate is achieved.
