Evening all,
I am considering retraining and like a few on here I am in my 30s and currently working full time, four days a week.
I read a bit about NVQ qualifications but was unclear on the best route to take. My local college runs a City & Guilds Level 2 Diploma in Plumbing Studies two evenings a week over a calendar school year starting soon but was wondering if any one knows exactly what this leads towards. I seem to think it does not particularly offer any formal qualification so to speak but more just a look in to what the profession involves, am I correct?
I do have a friend who is a plumber and had previously done a few saturdays with him but unfortunately started just before the pandemic and so stopped as a result and never ended up doing another days work experience with him. At the time he seemed to think courses were just a waste of money and you just need experience but it's not always easy to find the older you get and I am not fully sure on what qualifications you actually need to even work as a plumber.
Can any one offer any advice on this course or perhaps better ones to enrol on/consider? Thanks
