Hello... would like to ask if anyobe has any advice on how to get into this type of work... really interested in learning about them and how to use them. any advice would be helpful??

Thank you, any advice is good. The reason you stated about time and cost of training is indeed very true. Good advice about the fast track courses but to be honest its not something I wouldn't entertain.

I left school in 2008 and then went on to collage to study plumbing, gaining a EDI Level 1 National Award in Plumbing in my first year. I then went on to gain Level 2 Certificate in Basic Plumbing Studies in my second year. After completing my second year I was invited on to level 3 (Gas Fitting) but would need to take up a apprenticeship to do this as it was work based learning. As much effort as I put in to find a placement I was unsuccessful and had to leave that behind. Since the I have been working in a cash and carry (I started in my first year and fit it around collage) full time. I now feel as I'm wasted in doing something I firstly don’t enjoy but also believe I'm capable of doing better for myself. I am now looking to get back into plumbing and completed what I started and become a plumber. I believe because I have worked and understand how hard it is to get a job at the minute and appreciate any opportunity shown I would be a better candidate over a school leaver. I've already got a good amount of knowledge of plumbing so would be a quick learner for further education in the subject. If you have any opportunity available for me or have any advice it would be useful to me and I would appreciate it a lot.

It Did'nt have a fuel cap when I got it just the cover itself. Did'nt even know it needed one. A neighbour said it had slipped, he's got abit of knowledge....
