Hey matey. my brother has been doing kithcen and bathroom fitting for 20 years now without qualification. He doesn't touch gas obviously.

Think this link will give you a good idea of where to head personal development and qualifications wise.

Think the government are making some changes in the law to prevent "cowboy" tradesmen which should see a lot of changes by 2010. Perhaps someone else here who is more in the know can elaborate!

Mick,

Yep as Nick stated, the law is changing for all Plumbers, Tilers etc to get qualified up to NVQ Level 2, your best bet is to get on a City and Guilds 6129 course, this might incorporate the 6022/32 (this qualification is being superseded by the 6129....then you need to do about 3 - 12 months onsite work to get your City & Guilds 6089/NVQ2.

Hope this helps...
