student plumber
I'm on a plumbing course which doesn't include other skills such as bricky, chippy, plasterer and so on.
Problem is I'm nearing 40 and not much different to a 20 yr old out of college, (which one shall I hire, decisions decisions, said the employer).
Now I've drilled holes, notched and drilled wood, could chase channels and could plaster and tile, but don't know how long it would take or what it will look like.
There's no telling what an employer will want me to do if they hire me, so good idea if I've got other training. But what skills, what courses, how long and are they any good or ones to avoid.
I've seen brick laying courses from 5 days basics to 35 weeks NVQ let alone any of the others, but I'm training to be a plumber.
I realise plumbing is like being a jack of all trades and a master of one, I don't want to build houses. To make good or put plumbing through a joist or whatever else I need to do to do a job.
Appreciate any help, thanks.
