Looking For experience

[UnionJack]

Hi, im currently looking to get some in the field experience in the trade, with a qualified and experienced plumber.
I have completed a training course consisting of both theory and practical work and have gained a OCLN certificate in plumbing as well as water regs.
Im well aware that I still have plenty to learn and that experience is essential, and I am determined to make it in the industry.
I have some previous experience as a pipe fitters mate (1 Year) and I also served for 6 years in the Royal Navy as a marine engineer mechanic.
I am 35 years old and live in essex, and am looking for anyone that would be willing to give me a chance to gain the experience that I need.
I will obviously work for free and can assure you that I am hard working and dedicated.
I am also working towards my City and guilds and eventually the NVQ. I am also booking a course for unvented.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

UJ - good luck, with your experience and attitude you shouldn't have too much trouble. Jeez, you can even spell !

B.O.B - I know what you're referring to but haven't noticed any courses - have you seen any yet?

The Gov web site points towards courses and says that 5005 of the 7500 which they think will be required have already qualified.

Thats as I remember it anyway. I would expect that anyone with an RICS will be exempted from most of the learning requirements.

Thanks Chris, but im on an unlucky streak at the moment - no takers so far but persistence is the key (I hope).

I think Polski plumber has put an end to Brits retraining. Sad but that's the way it's going.

Not where I live.

BOB DOLE..... go take your attitude elsewhere. This forum helps people, and is not a soap box for dissalusioned (sic) plumbers to put off potentially decent trades people.

Oh, and take note joe 90.

Annoyed with the polski's? Well if you are, do something about it. Ranting on here aint gonna stop them is it. Unless of course they are all registered users on this site!

Try the IPHE they do a page for people looking for experiance.

also call up some local boys and see if they need a hand in exchange for some experiance.

You should be apples mate, stick at it and you will get there

as for the poles coming over, just ensure that your prices are keen and that you are well trained and you will beat them to jobs, they are no different from the career changers, just another bit of competion, and we are the boys to handle it
