Hey all.
Im currently doing my NVQ2 at college and working on site with my family plumbing business. I have been looking in to registration requirements for the likes of CORGI etc and have joined the IPHE The Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering as a trainee plumber.
Just a note...

Hello,
Just wondering, how many people here have come from a non-plumbing background and decided to change careers and get into plumbing? If you have, are you glad you did it?

Has anyone tried the OLCI Home-Study courses? OLCI also offer practical training sessions as well, so I would complement the theory with the practical sessions.
I am looking at doing a course and ideally would have gone for one of the 8/10 week courses but due to work constraints, I am unlikely...

So might as well do the whole job rather than just picking up the scraps from the plumbers...CANT BEAT EM JOIN...
Whew, just finished my first C&G assessment at Livingstone and was relieved to have passed, was very nervous on the run up to it but found that it wasn't that bad once i got there and actually started doing it. The lads on the course made it easier as we all got on quite well and helped each...
I am currently studying for my C&G 6129 plumbing certificate through OLCI. This way is probably not the best as it is very expensive but the waiting list for my local colleges was ridiculous, so I bit the bullet and signed up as I really want to become a plumber. Anybody else studying this way...
