Re: VIY Plumbing Training
Hi
I have just finished the VIY course at the old price.... First five weeks in classroom with a guy who was a gas fitter/trainer who is realy up himself and all the info he tells you is as it should be but he has no real world experiance as a plumber just a gas fitter. The next five weeks in workshop are verygood and hard work (you for some reason get clowns on the course who don't want to learn) and all the tutors in workshops are top class and will teach everybody who wants to learn.As advice goes buy your own tools after course has finished so you know what is needed, ask loads of questions as the time soon goes and the main thing DO NOT EXPECT WORK WHEN YOU FINISH, its tough out there.
If i could have sugested one thing to make the course better it would be to get thw owner George to teach the first five weeks of the course as he was a real world plumber with loads of realy useful info that would work in the class room and be transfered to the real world, as george is a no B*****t kind of guy and tells it like it is (old school).
The only thing what ever course you do untill you have done it you don't realise how much more there is to learn.
I hope this helps all the budding toilet jockeys out there...
