Default Re: Looking For Advice.

due to your age you would be better off going to your local collage as an apprentice the course would take about 3 years. but you would need to find a plumber to take you on this way you will get better qualifications than courses offer and be earning money at the same time, the courses are misleading for a bathroom fitting (like for like is around £250 to £300 this includes parts, tax, insurance, ECT) the only ones making money on these courses are the instructors (around £45k a year) Q..... if your only 16 and take the course and it takes 8 months then how are you going to transport your tools? if you get a placement then you will need to work with someone that can drive so you would be like an apprentice and are more likely to be paid as one, ... So don't pay for short cuts get on an apprenticeship
