Yes, you really could have a Level 1 plumbing qualification in a mere 10 days

10 days, or about two weeks once weekends are accounted for; it’s not a huge amount of time to invest in a course of action that could dramatically transform your life for the better – not just for 2022 or even a few years, but for potentially the rest of your working days. 

 

And yet, this is precisely the opportunity that could await you in the form of our 10-day Level 1 Intensive Plumbing Course. 

 

If that term ‘Level 1’ has piqued your interest, yes, this really is a course that could give you a nationally recognised Level 1 qualification if you complete it successfully. 

 

It is worth noting, however, that the qualification in question – the Level 1 Award in Preparation for Plumbing Operations – is optional. Indeed, if you opt for the version of this course without the qualification, you will benefit from the same comprehensive and high-quality training. 

 

Why might you take on this 10-day plumbing course? 

 

If you have long liked the idea of becoming a plumber and you have decided to get serious about it, but you really are a total novice with no previous experience of this popular trade, you’ve come to the right place in YTA. 

 

Yes, this course is well-suited to those who have never done any kind of plumbing before, as well as those who already work in a trade such as tiling, plastering or kitchen fitting, and wish to add plumbing to their skills repertoire. If the latter describes your situation more accurately, it could be a great idea to take on this course to help bolster your employability. 

 

Then, there are those people who enrol on this training course simply out of a wish to improve their competence and confidence when it comes to plumbing tasks they may fancy undertaking around the house. 

 

So, whether you expect to take on plumbing on a relatively casual basis, or instead put in place the foundations for a plumbing career, this course could be an excellent starting point for you. 

 

10 days of wide-ranging, top-to-bottom plumbing training 

 

As we explain on the relevant course page, it is possible to undertake this course as two separate five-day courses, instead of the 10 days all at once. 

 

If you do take on the full course in one go, however, you really can look forward to a highly stimulating 10 days. Beginning with the basics of pipe bending and fitting isolation valves, right through to the planning and installation of a bathroom, repairing toilet faults, fitting radiator systems, plumbing up a kitchen sink, and so much more, you really will learn a lot as one of our Level 1 plumbing students. 

 

You can find out more about everything the course covers on the aforementioned course page. This really is one of our most sought-after courses here at YTA, and when it comes to construction trade courses in Yorkshire, you really can’t hope to find a more reputable provider than us. 

 

Give us a call or send us an email now, and we will be pleased to answer any questions you may have about this or any of our other well-regarded courses, so that you can be sure of making the most informed choice for your own career ambitions and needs.

In just 10 days, you could be a highly capable carpenter – with a Level 1 qualification

Becoming a carpenter is not something that just anyone can do, and this is reflected in the various qualities one requires in order to succeed in the trade – including thoroughness, attention to detail, the ability to work well with one’s hands, and the ability to work well with others. A carpenter role can also be well-rewarded financially, with experienced joiners earning as much as £38,000 a year.

 

But if you have no or very little experience in joinery, and not necessarily much time for training, how can you be sure of getting your new career off to a solid start? 

 

One piece of advice we would give you here at YTA, is to ask us about our certificate in carpentry & joinery courses. Spending just 10 days at our West Yorkshire training centre presents you with the opportunity to achieve a full qualification – the NOCN Cskills Level 1 Certificate in Carpentry and Joinery. 

 

Such a qualification will give you something powerful to show to would-be employers or customers, to indicate to them your competence in your trade. This, in turn, will allow you to set down the strongest possible foundations for your new career. 

 

Getting to grips with a wide range of key carpentry and joinery skills 

 

You might be wondering just how much you can expect to learn about this varied trade in 10 days, and the short answer is: a lot. You don’t need any prior experience in carpentry and joinery to be able to take on this 10-day course, which will train and assess you in no fewer than five units making up this sought-after Level 1 qualification. 

 

The course begins with those enrolled learning how to use the basic hand tools associated with carpentry, including saws and chisels. You’ll go on to learn about the vital processes of marking, cutting and chiselling, producing a series of common woodwork joints – each joint being slightly more challenging than the last. 

 

As the course progresses, you will have the opportunity to put these newly-acquired skills to good use, including to chop in hinges using a chisel into a door and door frame, as well as for the construction of a door frame with a half lap joint. You will also be tasked with building a stud partition from scratch, including the door frame. 

 

Also key to your programme of learning will be architrave and skirting. We will get you to work a jig that consists of various awkward angles, so that you can develop your capability in the miting of a skirting board on internal and external angles, as well as straight angle cuts.

The above is just a summary of what you can expect when training in carpentry on this in-demand 10-day course; to learn more about what else is involved, please consult our online course page. 

 

As the UK and the wider world gradually emerge from what we all hope will be the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic, now is a great time to carefully consider what you want from your life – and whether a career change may be in order. If training in carpentry and joinery is an ambition of yours, YTA can help make it a reality for you.

Our Level 1 plumbing course is suitable for total beginners or tradespeople from different fields who might wish to add plumbing to their armoury of skills. With this course under your belt – and possibly a Level 1 qualification, if you choose this option – you will be able to become a confident and skilled plumber, with a strong platform for career success. 

 

After the full 10 days, you will have been trained and assessed in two units; ‘Introduction to construction work’ and ‘Carrying out plumbing operations’. Achieving these will enable you to earn the full Level 1 Award in Preparation for Plumbing Operations.

 

So, whatever the reason you might be looking for an intensive plumbing course in the UK, the 10-day Level 1 plumbing course here at YTA might be just the one for you. Here is what you can expect from this nationally recognised intensive plumbing course in the UK.

 

Week 1 – 5-day Level 1 intensive plumbing course

 

Monday – The first day of this course will entail you working with 15mm and 22mm copper pipe and fixings, in addition to fitting isolation valves and pipe bending. 

 

Tuesday – Tuesday’s class will be about all things bathrooms, encompassing planning, installation, testing and the fixing of any leaks that might arise at the latter stage. 

 

Wednesday – This day will include an explanation of internal cistern fittings and the various flush mechanisms you might encounter. You will also learn about fault finding and the diagnosis and fixing of those faults.  

 

Thursday – This day will cover the installation, bleeding and fixing of radiators. 

 

Friday – On the final day of week one of your intensive plumbing course in the UK, you will get to grips with plumbing up a kitchen sink and hot and cold pipework, as well as a tee off for a washing machine or dishwasher.  

 

Week 2 – 5-day advanced plumbing course

 

The second week of the course is all about building on the knowledge you picked up in the first week. For example, you will have already learnt how to install a radiator, so now we’ll move on to domestic hot water storage systems and central heating cylinders. 

 

Among many other skills, you will also cover the fitting of header tanks and gate valves, a thermostatic mixer shower, and a shower pump. 

 

Extra tips and tricks 

 

The 10-day course might be mainly made up of the content from our two five-day courses, but there are also some extra bits we have included. These include various tips and tricks of the plumbing trade, as well as full measuring and in-depth quoting based on full-size kitchens and bathrooms.

Our Level 1 tiling courses could set you well on the way to an exciting professional future

Learning a trade remains as popular a path as ever for people around the UK, and there are good reasons for that. Tiling, after all, is unlikely to ever go out of fashion, with all manner of floors and walls up and down the UK needing to be tiled to the utmost level of professionalism Furthermore, once one is experienced in this field, it is possible to earn as much as £38,000 a year.

These factors, in turn, help to explain why tiling intensive courses like our very own here at YTA continue to be sought-after.

Indeed, for a wide range of people who are interested in a tiling career – including not only complete beginners, but also existing tradespeople who wish to extend their skill-set to tiling – there are few more attractive initial training options than our five-day and 10-day Level 1 courses.

Within just a few days, you’ll have covered considerable ground

You don’t need to possess any prior tiling experience at all if you wish to take on one of these NOCN Cskills Level 1 tiling intensive courses. That’s because we really do start from scratch – although if you have some existing tiling skills, we can always tailor the course to suit your requirements.

Even if you take on ‘just’ our five-day course, we’ll aim to ensure you leave us with sufficient information and confidence to get your new tiling career successfully underway. Indeed, according to our most recent effectiveness poll, 23 out of 30 students have set up and are now enjoying self-employed tiling careers.

The course is structured as if it was a typical tiler’s working week. This means that if you complete the first five days, you will amass considerable experience and knowhow in the process, including in relation to health and safety, surface preparation, tiling techniques, the use of all tiling tools, all aspects of cutting and drilling tiles, silicone sealing and removal, and much more.

If, though, you join us for the full 10-day course, the additional five days will give you many further specialised tasks to work through. These will include, on the Monday, tiling a kitchen with a diamond splashback going up to the funnel, followed by a Tuesday spent tiling around a window inside and out, and a Wednesday and Thursday spent concentrating on wet rooms, tanking, plunge cutting and naturals. The Friday will conclude the course with the installation of bathroom underfloor heating before tiling on it; certificates will also be presented on this day.

Would you like to learn more about our tiling intensive courses?

If you would appreciate some further insight into whether either our five-day or 10-day tiling course could be the most suitable path for you, why not contact our team now, to arrange an in-person visit to our training centre? This will enable you to take a tour of our premises and chat to the current students on the course, who will be able to tell you about their experiences.

Simply call 01274 682199 or 07400922788 or email info@ytatraining.com now, or even complete and submit our straightforward online contact form.
