Another bloke retraining...

[csweet]

Evening all. Not actually a plumber yet but like a few people on here re-training soon, just looking for any advice on how to go. Doing a basic course but want to get hands on asap - so if anyone can recommend a good website I'd be grateful. I live in London so can get to anywhere within the M25 or just outside.

Again any help would be appreciated.

I've just joined up so haven't read through yet.

The course is just a basic DIY course at my local college as I've no skills at all as yet. Ultimately I will do my nvq's but want to get actual experience as well. Most courses I've looked at say they assess you while at work.

I'm doing a DIY plumbing course at my local college as I haven't got any skills.
I've only just signed up on here so will check out the other threads.

I will eventually do my NVQ's but most of the places I've looked at will assess you on the job, I can't really afford to go back college full time.

I'm just waiting to here back from Kilburn college (CNWL), they advertise a level 2 course (6129 is the qualification they say) so when I have my interview I can discuss any queries then. Been reading through a book that is based around level 2 and really enjoy the technical stuff and studying a new subject.
