New Trades Career Training Centre - Experience

The first foot step is the start of any great journey, so said the great man.

The problem may be if you believe that obtaining a C&G 6035 diploma will gain you employment as a plumber.
Employers will require an NVQ i.e. some kind of proof the you can "walk the walk" not just "talk to talk".

I'll be working towards my NVQ L2 once I pass my 6035 L2. Hopefully I'll be competent enough to walk the walk as you say by then Chris

In those immortal words lies the problem you are not working & learning at the same time.
Best of luck Andy

Try to get experience with a company, and definately experience as thats what really matters. I have seen lots of people with lvl2 technical cert, but couldn't find experience for NVQ, so ended up in office work, retail etc.

Do you have work lined up?? That’s the difficult bit

Hi Chris, you’ve got me a bit worried thier!
I don’t think anybody’s saying that a 6035 level 2 is the be all and end all of plumbing but surely it’s the start of the rout

Duplicate post?

I have a couple of Sparky friends/fam that said they may be able to put me in touch with some plumbers once I get a little further in the course. Hopefully come January I'll be in a better position, timewise, to start getting some hands on experience (Xmas run in at work now).

Have I been taken in here ? Hmmm

I believe you have mate

Dont know if it’s relevant but it’s worth a mention, I’m studying at south west construction academy Bristol for my plumbing and heating diploma. For the NVQ the academy will provide A qualified plumber on weekends for a fee but the academy has been great so far I would recomend them.

Con artists. Sign u up to a credit agreement with an external finacer then send u random workbooks that don’t have any company logos or anything on em. Bald guy came to me house and try to sell it to me, had no information on his company what so ever, played an unbranded dvd and couldn’t name training facilities when asked - ‘it’s up in wolverhampton’ yeah and what’s it called mate???
Fake reviews they haven’t even been in business long enough for anyone to complete the course.
Research before going with them however it looks like old posts about them are now gone!!
