C & G 6129

6129 is only a tech cert not a nvq you'll need to gain a 6089.
then that still limits you, their are many that have the nvq but it's the experience that you need.
you you need your water regs cert.
you'll need L regs to change any cws tanks, cylinders.
part p to work on any part of the wiring on the heating.

and that still won't give you any work. it takes yrs to built a good reputation. and one day to loose it.

all these fast track courses are a money scam you can't learn plumbing weeks it takes yrs.

so all these it bods that think you can earn 50k in a yr need to wake up their the ones putting the trade down

there may be a back door, I am working with a tiler and teaching him to do the plumbing as well and he is teaching me to do tiling, this helps me and helps him, if you can find some one thats just starting out and join up as a team this way you get more work and learn eachothers skills,

I did a fast track course after being made redundant, I agree, it does take years to be a plumber but you have to start some where! I tend to get the jobs other plumbers turn their noses up at! Not bothered about making millions but I earn a living and I enjoy it. (and I have a good reputation, I think!!)

Learn the skills you need to become a professional Plumber while studying plumbing at home.,it's convenient and accredited or just find some one that starting out and join up as a team.
