Hi All,
I hope this isn't against forum rules. I'm soon to be made redundant - this is coming as no surprise to me as I have been negotiating a way out for some months. As I knew I would soon have an opportunity, I have taken the plunge and recently completed my C&G Level 2 in plumbing with the aim of changing careers after many years of dreaming about it.
I know that weekend courses are frowned upon by you professionals, and I fully admit that whilst I have a plumbing qualification, I am not yet a plumber!! The next step for me is to gain some real life experience. Does anyone need a very keen and willing plumbers mate, or have any suggestions as to what my next move should be?
I will be finishing work in 2 weeks when I'm going back to college full time to gain a tiling qualification and also start working on my Level 3 and Gas.
I have a van, some tools and common sense - all I need now is to learn the trade.
If anyone is looking for help in Kent/SE London (or surrounding areas) please let me know. I am fully prepared to do any amount of donkey work so long as I'm learning, weekends are also not an issue for me.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Mike.
