Fast track courses advice PLEASE

[the contractor]

Hello everyone
I run a small but busy commercial refurb company in south wales for which I do a lot of carpentry work.One of the companys that I sub contract to have just got the contract to run the mainteance for a big pub chain and they have asked me if I would like to be part of this the only thing is that I would need pumbing experiance I have told them that I am not a plumber I am a carpenter and they said that you only need basic plumbing skills but I am a bit consurned that if I get called out in the middle of the night fot exsample and I cant sort the problum out then may be I would lose the contract alltogether. so I am thinking of doing a short plumbing courses I see them on the net in my area for £500 + VAT how good are these courses any advise would be welcome cheers

hi there,

All i would say is stay away from distant learning courses. im about to start a course with brookhouse training it cost abit but if you only want basics then you will prob get it alot cheaper. They do gas aswell as plumbing you see so thats why its abit pricey. look at brookhousetraining.com it near bradford but would be worth the travel for you mate. i been to two open days now and cant wait to start. its actual hand on work there not all text books n cd roms. goodluck whateva tho!
