Hello all, this is my first post on this forum and am here as i would am hopeing for some advice form you all.
Basically i have completed my apprenteship as a plumber and have my nvq3 and am also gas safe registered however i fancy moving on to something different and have always fancied getting on the rigs and am really wanting to get into pipe fitting on the rigs.
Now i know this is a plumbers forum but i thought some of you may have heard of lads that have done the change over and how they went about doing it. I have only got experience in domestic plumbing so nothing like the size of pipes that would be used on the rigs. I have heard that many many pipe fitters started of as plumbers so i am sure that somehow it is possible. I have spoke to one lad who was a plumber and now a pipe fitter on the rigs and his advice for me was to lie on my CV and say i have done pipe fitting then figure it out as i go, is this how everyone else has managed it???
I know about doing my survival, etc for the rigs and am also booking up to go on a swagelok course as i have been recommended this by a few people but was wondering if there are any other courses that people know of that will help me out.
Anyways any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance
