If you don't have any background, the only real way is to get in with a local pumber to get experience. Fast track courses are avilable but they are useless without any hands on experience.

Im looking at a career change into plumbing.

Not keen on the thought of a 'crash course' so planning to go to college for a couple of years on a evening.

Can see its going to be hard to get hands on experience tough :S
