Should i do it?

[minty08]

hello everyone just want to find out something, i am thinking about starting an 8 week bathroom fitting and hot and cold water systems course but just wondering is it worth it, you get a college certificate at the end of it.
I am experienced in basic plumbing and can only do it part time because i work full time and cant afford not to work. Just want to know if anyone has done a similar course and any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

If you have some basic plumbing knowledge you probably won't learn a great deal and the certificate won't be worth a damn.
I'd save my cash if I were you, buy a plumbing book.

could you recommend any books which include the new regulations please.
thanks.

It depends if you want to persue a career in plumbing or just want to do it for a bit of extra knowledge.
