Hi,
I was wondering if you could help me?

I am looking to become a plumber and i have been looking at a plumbing course and i'm not sure if it's a good course and if the qualification will be recognised in the industry or be any good. Here are the qualifications:
City and Guilds 6129-02 Technical cert,
City and Guilds copper tube installation,
Bathroom Design,
Water supply regulations,
Scope part p electrician qualification,
Unvented hot water storage systems qualification
CSCS site card
First aid.
Are these any good?
The Course company are called Trade Qualified Ltd have you ever heard of them?

Ok thank you for advice the only problem with nvq 2 is that you have to do this at work and i have not got a plumbing job at the moment.
