Plumbing Course – Video Review by Darren Clarke

We have had our first plumbing course video review! Darren Clarke, a gas fitter from Liverpool attended our 10 day plumbing level 1 plumbing course and here is his mid-course review after completing the first 5 days.

Whats Covered on the plumbing course:

The first 5 days will see you working with copper pipe and fixings, plumbing in a bathroom, a small 3 radiator system including thermostatic radiator valves, understanding different heating systems, plumbing in a kitchen sink including waste pipes plus plenty of fault finding and repair work throughout the week.

Darrens 10 day level 1 plumbing course was cut short due to COVID-19 but he will be returning for the second week (advanced plumbing course) at a later date.

Plumbing course video review below:

Book with confidence – COVID-19

Book a course with confidence – COVID-19

We are still open for business as usual but we are closely following advice from the government in keeping you safe.

If you book a course (pay a deposit / full payment) and are then unable to attend by the time your course start date comes around due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) then we will re-schedule your course for a later date in the year with no loss of your deposit/full payment..

These coming weeks will be a very worrying time for all businesses country wide as general footfall may decrease and we hope you will support us through this time.

Here’s what we will do:

  • Re-schedule any course or courses if you are unable to attend due to coronavirus without losing your deposit or full payment.
  • We have antibacterial hand-wash to use as frequently as you like
  • Everyone works/trains in their own training bays and do not share hand tools
  • We have disposable latex gloves around the training centre for everyone to use
  • All equipment and tools are cleaned down with antibacterial wipes
  • We will keep the total number of students and staff within our 6500 sq ft construction training centre to below 25 people.

I hope the above will help you book a course with confidence and together we can take each day as it comes.

If you have coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms, the NHS link is HERE.

Great YTA Kitchen Fitting Course Review

Another great review once again following the completion of a YTA Training and Assessment 5 day kitchen fitting course.

Craig MacGarvie – 5 Star Kitchen Fitting Course Review

I recently undertook a kitchen fitting course with Lawrence Booth. The course was excellent and I learned a lot. Lawrence was also a great teacher and talked me through each step. I will be back to do the plumbing course at some point! Thanks again.

 

Thank you Craig for the fantastic review following the 5 day course. Lawrence is a fantastic teacher who loves to share his extensive knowledge on kitchen fitting, carpentry & joinery. We look forward to seeing you back with us at YTA for the plumbing course Craig.

On the 5 day intensive kitchen fitting course you will learn how to design a kitchen to the room provided and what types of cupboards and units are available to suit a variety of designs to suit a customers specification. Base units will need to be levelled on a and planned to a design along with hanging the wall units and fitting the extractor hood. You will use professional kitchen fitting tools form jig saws, circular saws and routers. You will be shown every aspect of setting up each tool along with handy tips along the way on how to use the tools for different materials.

Excellent review following completion of multiple courses at YTA

Another excellent 5 star review has been left on Google reviews following the completion of multiple courses at YTA. Allan traveled down for several weeks from Scotland whilst completing a variety of construction courses at YTA Training And Assessment in Bradford, West Yorkshire

Allan spent 5 weeks training with YTA in 10 days Plastering, 10 days Wall and Floor Tiling and 5 days Plumbing. He also opted to ‘bolt on’ the Cskills level 1 certificate qualifications in the tiling and plastering courses along with the Ascentis level 1 Award in Plumbing. Following the completion of the courses Allan is now set up and working for himself and he has left us a lovely review.

Please ready below:

OUTSTANDING.. From the first phone call to enquire about the availability of courses till completion of 5 weeks of training. Graham the owner was extremely helpful and knowledgable enabling me to pick the correct courses suitable to my needs..I traveled from Scotland a 4 hour drive and stayed in the b&b recommended by Graham ( model farm) a 5 minute drive from the training centre… £150 for 5 nights with a huge choice of breakfast options that kept you going throughout the day… although there is similar training courses available in Scotland after careful research I am glad to say it was well worth the travelling to YTA for value for money, in-depth hands on training and the fantastic instructors at the various courses.. I completed 2 weeks Tiling 2 weeks plastering and 1 week plumbing all with the level 1 qualification. The instructors… Lyndon, thank you so much for your help and guidance through the plumbing course I really couldn’t of done it without your knowledge patience and basically general down to earth attitude really top top man…also picked up invaluable tips for Tiling from yourself aswell, thank you mate…Dave, again went above and beyond to help, I really enjoyed the plastering and am now out working for myself which I wouldn’t of been able to do without Daves expertise, learned so much in 2 weeks from Dave and have been back in touch with him seeking advice which Dave has duly given . If your looking at doing a plastering course look no further Dave will put you in the right direction…. Lawrence, although I didn’t actually have Lawrence as an instructor he was always there to give advice and guidance another top bloke.. Anyone looking for diy skills or as I was seeking, a complete change in occupation YTA is the place to go without doubt, well worth the travelling… Graham, Dave, Lyndon and Lawerence thank you….

Allan from Scotland YTA review

Thank you for the great review Allan, it was a pleasure having you with us for all those weeks and we are glad you enjoyed your time with us. Remember to keep in touch and let us know how you get on, if you are ever back down in Bradford be sure to pop in for a brew!

I'll be honest when I saw the advertisement and checked the place on google, I said another course to waste time, and contrary to having judged the place, the course was above my expectations, very practical, excellent teaching, I recommend 100 % five stars.

As an unskilled landlord I felt a little exposed due to the lack of plumbers out there doing small jobs, leaking sinks, new toilet inlets etc etc. I contacted YTA to bridge that gap a bit. After 5 days, I actually feel far more comfortable and I am actually going to tackle installing a bathroom. Very good, hands on training. Can be difficult to hear whats going on at times due to all trade training going on in the same room but I would definitely recommend them. I am actually going to do joinery, kitchen fitting and plastering too within the next 12 months.

Just finished the 5 day kitchen fitting course with Paul. I had very limited skills prior to this but have learnt loads and now feel totally competent to fully fit out my mums kitchen and utility room myself. Great course with very experienced tutor. Highly recommended. I'm going to do the plumbing course next. Thanks Paul and YTA.

Can't rate this place enough. I've done plumbing, plastering, and am about to finish a joinery course. The instructors are all very skilled in their respective trades and the class sizes are small enough that you have time to go at your own pace and really learn.All the instructors are very approachable and happy to answer questions, however stupid I thought they might sound.If you're considering a course here my advice is to do it. I started with virtually no practical skill at all and after each course I'm now confident that I can put these skills to good use in my house, and what I could produce by the end of each course is much better than what I've seen some tradesmen produce. You'll be pleasantly surprised by how much you'll learn at this place, even with no prior experience.

Finished my 10 day tiling course with Gary and it was superb.Considering I'd never laid a tile prior to starting the course and then to be tiling by 10am the morning is amazing and it's a credit to him, he has confidence in the people he's training even if they don't haha. Without thinking you just do it, he guides you along swimmingly.Gary, without saying it, recognises your pace and how confident or not you are and he goes with YOUR flow which I feel is correct.

I attended a 5 day plastering course .All the instructors are great and easy to get on with. Dave the plastering instructor is a top lad .Nothing to much trouble and really helpful.I’ve already started on my own house and the course definitely gave me the basics I needed to point me in the right direction.I would recommend Dave and all the staff to anyone thinking about having a go.I’m 61 served my time as a bricklayer straight from school but I wish I’d given plastering a shot years ago.Best thing I’ve done in a long time.Also ‘Bradford Digs’ great little place to stay.Cheers to all…Andy.
