A 17 year old lad would be better off doing an aprenticeship. Ask at local colleges and start writing letters to local firms. Shelling out near 5k would be unwise. Any company worth its salt will take on apprentices and college leavers, unless you live in an area where plumbing is heavily subscribed. He is exactly the right age to be getting a foot on the ladder. These courses seem to be designed for people who want to start up on their own (and in my opinion are a con) Plumbers get hundreds of letters a month from people begging for a job, my advice would be to knock on doors on an evening, let people see that he is young an eager and he will stand a much better chance instead of ending up in the bin with all the other letters
