A theoretical and practical course that will equally suit the DIY enthusiast, property developer or those striving to build a new career. We will take the fear out of plumbing. Offering training for the complete novice to those who have a little knowledge and wish to expand on it.
DIY
If you have had the unfortunate need to call out a plumber, you undoubtedly found it a costly experience. Your probably the lucky one? as most people never get hold of a plumber when they really need one! Attending a Trade-Ability plumbing course could save you a lot more than an expensive phone call. We will give you the knowledge, skill and confidence to tackle those basic problems encountered without the need of the specialist. Repairing leaks, fixing taps and tapping into pipe work will be the result of being able to correctly problem solve, which ultimately is what a plumber does.
Property Developer
Having the ability to change a bathroom suite, install an outside tap, upgrade radiators and re-new pipe work are invaluable tools in the toolbox of the property developer. Nearly all development requires the need of a plumber at some stage so why not do it yourself? Speed up the refurbishment of your development and save on the labour costs aswell!
Career Change
We are all aware that plumbing work, especially the household heating system can be complex. Quite rightly, in depth plumbing and heating cannot be learnt and practised on overnight. However, you'll be surprised about what you can achieve in just 4/5 days. More importantly, it will give you the insight whether it really is for you or not? So many people sign up for long time consuming courses in order to retrain only to find it isn't actually what they expected or wanted. They simply drop out wasting the money they have paid and hardly gaining any skill at all. At Trade-Ability you will learn a great deal in a short amount of time, quickly reaching a level of competence that will last you a lifetime. Whether you decide to pursue it further or not?
