Plumbing course

5th January 2021 By Liz Spider

What’s the difference between our five-day and 10-day Level 1 plumbing courses?

It’s hardly surprising that so many people are drawn to the idea of becoming a plumber, especially at times of economic uncertainty like the present. But if you’re seeking the right intensive plumbing course in the UK, you may understandably become a little confused by the various options offered by training providers like YTA. 

So, let’s look specifically at our five-day and 10-day courses that will give you a Level 1 plumbing qualification, the Level 1 Award in Plumbing Operations. How do they differ? 

 

A strong platform for a rewarding plumbing career 

The short answer to the above question is that the 10-day course effectively constitutes an extended version of the five-day course. That means both courses will train and assess you on two units – ‘Introduction to plumbing work’ and ‘Carrying out plumbing operations’ – and both enable you to earn a qualification accredited by Ascentis Awarding Organisation. 

No less importantly, both of these courses provide a sturdy foundation for future professional success as a plumber. You don’t need any previous experience to take on either route, and once you’ve completed your chosen intensive plumbing course in the UK, you should possess the confidence and skills needed to develop a plumbing career. 

 

Build your capabilities as a plumber at our trusted training centre 

The five-day course – which is, of course, the same as the first five days of the 10-day course – will see you taking on such tasks as working with and using copper pipe and fixings, planning and installing a bathroom, fault finding, installing a small two-radiator system, and plumbing up a kitchen sink. 

And that’s just a quick summary of some of the interesting plumbing challenges that will await you over the five days, as the instructor also explains how to tackle various problems with real-life solutions. You’ll also find out about pricing jobs and business start-up. 

Stay with us for a second week on our 10-day course, though, and you’ll get to expand on what you learned during the first week. You will be given the opportunity, for example, to complete the fitting of a domestic hot water storage system, and will also learn more about bathroom plumbing, rainwater guttering, hoppers and drainage. 

You can discover more about just how much an intensive plumbing course in the UK can cover by perusing our various online course pages. Remember that regardless of which course you enrol on, you’ll also become well-versed in plumbing ‘tricks of the trade’, as well as in full measuring and in-depth quoting based on full-size kitchens and bathrooms. 

Call 01274 682199 or 07400 922788, or email info@ytatraining.com, and we’ll be pleased to advise you on your options, so that you can be sure of getting your new life as a plumber off to the strongest start.

Student returns 9 years later!

It was so lovely to have Denise back in YTA with her son 9 years after her first course. Denise originally attended our tiling course back in 2011 and has returned to complete a few more courses with her son’s in August and September leaving us with a lovely review on Google.

I did my first tiling course here over 9 years ago. I loved it! But I came out of the trades industry for a few years. Having recently started my new business as a tiler I wanted extra experience with what I’ll probably come across.

My son and I attended the 5 day plumbing course. Fantastic for both of us.

I have since attended a 2 day floor tiling course.

The instructors make this such a fun and relaxed atmosphere whilst maintaining safety and professionalism.

I feel the course prices are extremely reasonable and can’t wait to attend the 5 day joinery course in January 2021!

All safety measures are adhered to!

I haven’t bothered looking at anywhere else for my courses as YTA has it all!

They even sell tools at competitive prices too!

Thank you Denise for such a lovely 5 star review. It’s always great to see returning students and hear how well you’ve been doing. Looking forward to another catch up when you return for the joinery & carpentry course. Graham

New 5 Star Reviews For September

More new 5 star reviews for September have come in this week following the completion of our plumbing, plastering, carpentry & joinery courses.

Marcus Lister – Completed 10 day level 1 Plumbing course and 10 day level 1 Carpentry & Joinery Course. – August & September 2020

I’ve done the plumbing and heating, joinery carpentry courses recently and really enjoyed both of them. This was down to the tutors knowledge and patience and it also helps they are a great laugh! Got me where I wanted to be and I look forward to the next course

Marcus Lister carpentry and plumbing course review

Thank you Marcus for a great 5 star YTA review. It was a pleasure having you on the courses and we look forward to seeing you back again for the other courses.


John Power – Completed 10 day Plumbing Course – September 2020

Personally I felt the plumbing course was excellent. It suited me because it was hands on and very practical and suited my style of learning. I thought the delivery by the instructor was spot on and would highly recommend the course for beginners or people looking to up-skill and already have a basic knowledge base about plumbing. I would like to thank the YTA and would definitely avail of other courses in the near future. Cheers lads.

John Power Plumbing Course YTA 5 star review

Thank you John for the 5 star review, much appreciated and all the best for the future.

You only need a week or two to become a capable plumber with us

It’s the phrase that has been uttered by people disgruntled with their careers seemingly since time immemorial; “I should’ve just become a plumber”. Well, given that we officially have a recession on our hands, is now the time to make good on that vague declaration of frustration with your lot, by actually training to be a plumber?

Of course, here at YTA, we would only wish to encourage the most responsible career choices. Indeed, while the National Careers Service advises that experienced plumbers can command salaries of as much as £40,000 a year, you also need to be sure it is the right long-term path for you.

Nonetheless, if you do come to the conclusion that becoming a plumber should be your next big professional step, our training centre can help you to get off to a great start with it, when you take on one of our five-day or 10-day plumbing courses.

Make us your destination for Level 1 plumbing training

As we mentioned in the title of this blog post, you only need to join us at our Bradford premises for a week or two to be able to put yourself in a highly advantageous position to start your plumbing career.

Our five-day intensive Level 1 plumbing course, for instance, culminates in the successful student being granted the nationally recognised Level 1 Award in Preparation for Plumbing Operations, accredited by Ascentis Awarding Organisation.

People leaving this very hands-on, practical course have gone on to use their newly acquired knowledge and confidence to take on plumbing jobs around the home and even start up as professional plumbers.

But you might be just as interested to learn that you don’t need to possess any prior experience in plumbing to take on this course – it really is excellently suited to total beginners, as well as those working in other trades, such as tiling or plastering, who wish to expand their skills base.

Or get even more when you join us for five days more

OK, so you now know that you can earn a Level 1 plumbing qualification if you sign up for our five-day Level 1 course. But you might not have known that we also run a five-day advanced plumbing course that represents a natural continuation of the five-day Level 1 course for further developing your burgeoning plumbing skills.

Alternatively, you might fancy effectively taking on both of these courses at once, by enrolling on our 10-Day Level 1 Intensive Plumbing Course.

Again, this 10-day course includes the chance to earn the aforementioned Level 1 qualification if you desire this. However, it’ll also allow you to become an even more confident and capable plumber when it comes to such tasks as installing domestic hot water storage systems, fitting radiators including thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs), central heating fault finding, and so much more.

Simply click through to the relevant pages for these courses on the YTA website to learn more about what each of them entails, and so that you can determine the training route that is likely to represent the best choice for you.

Then, don’t hesitate to get in touch directly with us to discuss your needs in greater detail and book your place on the most suitable course.
