5 star YTA reviews this week!

We are happy to announce that we’ve received two 5 star YTA reviews this week taking our 5 star reviews tally up to 286! Wow, thank you everyone.

Or first review this week was left by Andy Flanagan who has completed our 10 day level 1 plumbing course. The first week was completed before the lockdown so now he was able to come back and finish off the second week of the plumbing course which covers domestic hot water and heating systems.

I recently did a level one 10 day plumbing course and thoroughly enjoyed it. One day I was plumbing a whole bathroom, next day plumbing radiators. Second week plumbing a whole central heating system. A very hands on and practical teaching course, no sitting in classrooms. Both graham and Lyndon were superb. I’ll be back at some point later this year to do tiling and plastering. Thanks gents.

Andy Flanagan 10 day plumbing course review. 5 star YTA reviews this week

Thank you Andy for the great YTA review.

Our next review came in from Michael Seal who completed the 5 day plumbing course last week.

I recently completed the five-day plumbing course at YTA. Before this course, I had no experience in plumbing whatsoever. I have a few small plumbing jobs to do around the house and recently experienced a leak which is when I realised I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to plumbing. The YTA was perfect, and it’s hands-on approach means you are bending, cutting and soldering pipes before lunchtime on day one. The rest of the week was spent plumbing bathrooms, radiators, kitchens, outside taps and waste pipes. All the instructors have years of experience as plumbers and share their experiences and tips as you go through the week. I highly recommend this course for anyone that wants a hands-on introduction to plumbing or even think of changing trades and becoming a plumber. I plan on going back later this year to do the carpentry course.

Michael Seal 5 day plumbing course review

Thank you Michael for such a great review, glad you enjoyed the course and we look forward to you possibly coming back for the carpentry and joinery course.

We have enjoyed reading the 5 star YTA reviews this week, keep them coming in!

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.
