So for someone whos been on a C&G course, then with that alone goes out s/e and hopefully doesnt drown 😱 in their first week, how many years on the tools before their experienced enough to be a proper plumber?

Ive been told 5 years which being about halfway through im inclined to agree with. You slowly get the skills but the confidence lags behind and you need a good spread of jobs to learn from.

If confident and pick up trade well 3 years solid work should be ok to start on own
