Good Evening All
I'm Andy, I'm from a small town near Bath, Somerset and I would like to become a plumber!
I have spent the past 12 years in the motor trade working in various motor factors working my way up from parts, to operations, to service advisor and now currently I am running an independent garage, but its all going to change, hopefully for the best!
I have decided to take the leap and become a plumber, this is mainly due to being a hands on type person stuck behind a desk all my working life and I would rather be putting my mechanical skills to good use and learn something new and take on a more hands on career.
I have therefore booked myself onto my 6 week City and Guilds 6035 diploma followed by working along side a reputable plumbing company in Kent to gain my NVQ level 2. I am due to start in March and am aiming to be NVQ within 6 months providing all goes well.
I am not fully sure of what the long term plan is yet but for now I am going to aim to become a plumbers mate for at least a couple of years, maybe put myself through a tiling course and plastering so I can cover most aspects of bathroom fitting and of course gain a lot of knowledge working along side someone willing to give me good experience of the trade
I am so excited to get started and look forward to learning the trade and speaking to fellow trainees on the forum and learn from the experts on here also
Would love to hear from other people that have not long been in the trade and hear how it has been for you starting out on the job
Cheers! Andy
