Heat & Vent course Local college - Not fast strack!

[rocketmanbkk]

I am going to start the C&G Level 2 H & V course at the local college in Sept. 2 eves per week for 1 year an dthen the NVQ L 2 which may take another year.

I have a little self learned experience and can solder and bend a pipe to a certain standard so maybe not a green as others.

The course is £800 plus £20 for a book and another £50 odd quid for other materials. Seems like a good course, 6128 I beleive as no lead, don't want lead, tried it once but hated it!

Chaps at the college seem nice, no profit for them, 3 exams at the end of the year, 1 book to buy for £20.

Going to go for it. See what happens and try to work part time eves around my current FT job while doing it.

Spoke to a few fast track providers an d100% not for me, BTSC wanted £6k plus £80 for books - juist salesman.

From my experience I'd say to any plumber go the college route and do the time, takes longer but I think more respected.

Cheers

its a very good course, be aware that it isnt plumbing though. Know the difference. they are related trades, kinda commercial plumbing

enjoy and work hard

Im enrolled onto the NVQ also, I got my gola exams next week thursday once i pass that im going to write up my portfolio. Ive done my two job which was two seperate installs Hot water cylinder, and a radiator suite to fit to old valves.
