New Qualification / Course – Foundation Certificate in Basic Heating and Hot Water System Design & Specification

YTA are proud to now offer the Foundation Certificate in Basic Heating and Hot Water System Design & Specification industry recognised qualification. The course is based upon the CIBSE (The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers) Heating Design Guide (DHDG) 2007 ISBN 1 903287 40 5.  The course is also accepted by IDHEE (Institute of Domestic Heating & Environmental Engineers) as a unit credit and will save two days attendance on the full diploma course.

The qualification can be taken during one of the 10 day plumbing courses or the 5 day advanced plumbing course

Candidates will be trained and assessed in the following areas:

  • Comfort conditions and basic heating and hot water principles
  • Basic system types
  • Heat-loss calculations
  • System design
  • System specification and selection including emitters, pipe work, boilers and pump sizing
  • Sizing and selection of hot water systems

While training covers pipe-sizing and pump-settings etc in theory, they are not part of the practical work. There are questions regarding these in the written assessment.

A new plumbing course review just published. 5 stars again!

A new plumbing course review has just been published and we have received 5 stars once again!

Gareth only attended the 5 day plumbing course a few weeks back and he goes on to say that he has already made the money back from what he spent on the course!

I attended the one week plumbing course a couple of weeks ago and it provided me with all the knowledge I’d hoped for. Lyndon the instructor had a vast knowledge from his 30+ years experience and he past this on to us in a very easy and relaxed way. He had plenty of time to spend with each of us (only 3 including me) which allowed us to gain more knowledge than you might in a larger group. I have put this knowledge to good use and already made back the money I spent on the course. I can’t recommend this course enough, anyone considering getting in to any trade should contact YTA without delay.

The plumbing course is one of our most popular courses which actually runs every week! We offer a few options from a 5 day course or 10 day course. The option to upgrade to a nationally recognised level 1 plumbing qualification is also available and achievable within the 5 or 10 days. We only have low student to teacher numbers with no more than 6 students at a time on the plumbing courses. We still have a couple of places available for a next week if you are thinking of jumping on a course.

To book we require a £100 deposit, the balance is then due on the first day of the course. For more information please contact the centre on 01274682199 or email info@ytatraining.com

YTA is situated in Bradford, West Yorkshire.

December courses so far are Brickalying, plumbing, tiling and plastering

So far this December we have been teaching bricklaying, plumbing, tiling and plastering. We start again on Monday morning swapping bricklaying for carpentry and joinery. We only have 3 places remaining this year so if you fancy jumping on a last minute course give the centre a call  Monday morning. Below are a selection of photos taken over the past week and a half.

On the bricklaying course you will learn trowel skills and build a half brick wall and a block wall. Advanced bricklaying techniques such as arches and practice on a range of different brickwork bonds such as garden wall bonds are also covered. The plastering course will cover boarding up of walls and ceilings, skimming over existing plaster and also onto plaster board. You wall also plasterboard onto block work wall using board fix ‘dot and dab’ plus backing plaster method. We will also repair holes in walls and learn how to patch repair plasterwork and feather in large areas.

The plumbing course briefly covers plumbing in bathrooms, kitchens and radiators systems as well as fault finding and repair from toilet cisterns to central heating.

The tiling course starts off with you tiling a basic kitchen, then around a window half height with trims to be mitred. Then moving onto tiling a bathrooms shower area above a bath and then tiling a floor with obstacles such as a pedestal to cut tiles around along with a boxing in and doorway architraves.

All our courses are taught by experienced and qualified ex tradesmen with only low students numbers per teacher ratio. YTA is based in Bradford, West Yorkshire and is easily accessible from the M62 motorway. If you would like to book a course you can either call the centre, visit the centre or book using the online booking system at the bottom of your chosen course page.

A couple more 5 star reviews this week!

A couple more 5 star reviews this week! Two recent reviews following the completion of our 5 day level 1 intensive plumbing course from two candidates. One review was from a builder with 30 years building industry experience.

I did the 5 day level 1 plumbing course, I’ve been in the building industry for over 30 years and never wanted to tackle anything that involved water.I did the course purely so I could carry out jobs and repairs at home. it was a great week, Lyndon was a great tutor and there was a great group of lads on the course.I learnt loads and really enjoyed the hands on practical work, you had all the tools, equipment and materials to carry out every job that was set out. The course gave me the skills and confidence to carry out a handful of jobs that I had at home which I started the Saturday after the course.All jobs done brilliantly so I’m really happy with what I’ve learned . I will be undertaking another course next year.

 

The 5 day plumbing course was a very good course. Lots of practical tasks and all the staff are very approachable and will help you out with any issues that they can help you with.

Many thanks for all the reviews. Keep them coming please!

Excellent 5 Star Review of our 10 day level 1 plumbing course

We’ve received an excellent 5 star review of our 10 day level 1 plumbing course, 5 day tiling course and carpentry course from a recent student.

I travelled from from London to view the centre and was so impressed by the set up and the work the students were undertaking I booked myself onto the 5 day plumbing course. The course was fantastic and exceeded my expectations so much that I then booked the second week plumbing course covering domestic hot water systems. Again the centre and staff were excellent and I then booked a third week to take advantage of their ‘4 for 3’ offer so I’ve now done the tiling and carpentry courses. All staff at Yta are so friendly and helpful and I will be recommending the courses to all my friends and family. I will definitely be returning to book more courses and that seemed to be the thinking of other students also. Fantastic training centre! I wish there was an option for more than 5 stars! They deserve it.

Thank you Mohammad for such a lovely review.
