Hi Guys,
In 2006 I finished a two year, two nights a week college course in city in guilds level 2 6129/22 unfortunately I wasn't able to work with any qualified plumbers to gain extra knowledge and experience due to mortgage comitments and having children. I have always been working with the trades and can complete most items with ease I often take on plumbing jobs without thinking I can't do something (obviously no gas/boiler flue work). I have worked as a kitchen and bathroom fitter, plasterer, plumber for many years now owning my own company, van and tools for the last 6 years. I have recently been full time plumbing with a good friend of mine who was very busy who is gas safe and all qualified and am enjoying it as for some reason my work has tailed off slightly. I have been fortunate enough to now have the money to take my learning further but this is where I would like some advice. As i say I completed my level 2 city and guilds 6129 which i think means nothing today but want to go down the next step. I am wondering what i should do as i am not a beginner by far and don't want to sit in a class of beginners learning the complete basics. What how and where do I take it? Gas safe? Level 3 and if so can I do an intensive or part time course as I will still need to earn a decent wage to pay the everyday bills and mortgage as I am now soon to be 33 with grey hairs, a wife and two children....
Can you help your advise would be appreciated.
