It`s 2 years at college for your NVQ level 2 Plumbing course then I think another 2 or 3 years to do your CORGI certificate, but you`ll be lucky to get in coz I`ve heard there`s a massive waiting list now.

I`m not sure about sparky courses but I`d have thought it would be the same story.

Get in touch with Sheffield or Chesterfield College to ask about vacancies.

We had 2 lasses on our course and they had to pay to same fees as us, but that was a night time course.

I do know that if you are working for a plumber your employer gets some sort of grant towards your training.
