Hi all

I've been thinking recently about a change in career. At present I work in an office stuck behind a desk all day and I really don't enjoy it. I'm in my early twenties and have been thinking of looking into training courses in plumbing and I was hoping that somebody may be able to shed some light on the following questions:

How do I go about getting relieable information on what qualifications I need to get? Is there a main website that I should be looking at?

How long will it take to re train?

Is it really viable to do it around my current employment as i have a mortgage to pay so I can't afford to give up my current job.

Roughly what is the basic starting salery on qualification?

Any help would be appreciated. I'm not looking to earn the 80k that all of the adverts I seem to have seen on the internet have said. I just want a career where I get job satisfaction whilst still earning enough to get by!

Cheers
