Hi oldplumbers. Thanks for the feedback.

Is there ever a right time to learn a new trade?

I have never believed the hype about the shortgage of plumbers in the UK and having reasearched my potential new career I do believe those people like me coming into the industry have left it a little too late (by about 5 years I reckon). So why am I bothering you ask? Well, I long for warmer climates and believe getting a trade such as plumbing will allow me to emigrate to such countries such as Australia or New Zealand where, I could probably (or rather hopefully) prosper better than I would in the UK. However, I would need more than just the NOCN certificate to be able to realise this ambition.

I hear that such courses as the NOCN certificate and the fast-track qualifications are to blame for ****ing off time-served plumbers and as such are frowned upon.
