Its a basic course that will teach you the basics of plumbing, you'll do a bit of pipework, learn how systems work, plumb in a bathroom, hot water cylinder.
Ideally you want them to put you with someone, so that you can work and learn as an apprentice. This is by far the best way to learn a trade.
Ask Skills Solutions about possible apprenticeship opportunities. I think they usually work with Manchester City Council, housing associations (City West), building contractors (Manchester Working), etc.
Its usually around this time (more April/May) that the major companies/housing associations/Councils start looking for apprentices, for a September start.
Take a look at the websites of these companies, and apply. But be warned you'll most likely be one of thousands of applicants, so make sure you make your application stand out.
Good Luck!
