From what ive heard I honestly wouldnt waste your time and money on going on a plumbing course. You are extremely unlikely to find anyone to work for/with unless you know somebody beforehand. If you cannot find somebody to work for then you will have to go it alone which can be very tough for someone with no experience and 8 weeks or whatever plumbing behind them. There are loads of startup plumbers out there barely making a living, and by the sounds of it there are loads of people wanting to go on courses. There is simply not enough work to go around. The so called plumbing boom was years ago, now there are too many. For every 1 person who has "made it" there are 10 who havent. I think I read somewhere that 50% of people who train to be plumbers do not go on to finish their NVQ because they cannot find anyone to take them on so they cant do the onsite assesments. If they do bring out the requirement that by 2010 all plumbers must be NVQ qualified then you will be unable to work aswell. Plumbers who have been plumbing all their lives (like me) will be given "grandfather rights" to work so its no skin off their noses.
The bottom line is, dont waste your money. And for all those people still thinking "i will be ok" and dreaming of megabucks then you have been warned.
Sorry to put a dampner on things but people need to know the reality.
