looking to get experience with qualified plumber(ipswich)

[zedlee]

Hi
i've just completed an acredited learning plumbing course(60% towards nvq2). covered all basic aspects of plumbing including hot and cold systems, bathroom an shower installation, central heating and all the jointing and bending stuff. i have also passed the bpec water regs exam.

basically im looking for a plumber who would be willing to take me under his wing and show me the ropes, tricks of the trade. I would be willing to offer my services for free for a short term to get the ball rolling. i have got my own public liability insurance, van and basic tools if that helps. Im 36 and live in the ipswich area.

If anybody has any info on were to look or knows somebody who would be interested that would be much appreciated

cheers
lee

Try your local council (re-lets or day to day section), I bet they would be interested in you. Alternativley British Gas academy. Phoning round from the yellow pages is futile as everyone is sooo busy though you may strike lucky. Try doing a few little jobs that you feel comfortable with around the house and for friends etc to build your confidence.
Up here we have a facility called Connexions which would put you in contact with prospective employers, see if you have got one down there.

Good luck! You'll get there eventually.
