Plumbing Course NVQ

[kevhky]

Ive noticed a few members chatting about these course's.

Ive seen some of these course's and bet you have come across them too costing around 2 grand for 4 weeks training gaining a few basic NVQ's but i believe these qualifications are not recognised by plumbing companys.

I just want to get some feedback for members'guests who have seen these course's from people who have attended these course's and give their views on them (good points aswell as bad)

A few courses ive come across

As my old man says, not worth a blow on a rag mans trumpet!
You will need at least a NVQ3 to get a start & even then you will find it hard going...... save your 4 grand & have a holiday with it, you'll get more out of it.

the first one is fair enough

most domestic electrical installer courses run for five days and cost about a grand, the second one looks a bit iffy but the last one aint promising nothing except an introduction at fairly reasonable rates

I have seen far worse on line
