plumbing course

21st April 2021 By Liz Spider

What to expect from our 10-day Level 1 plumbing course at YTA

Whether you want to be able to take on plumbing jobs around the home with more confidence, or start up as a working plumber, YTA has a range of plumbing courses suitable for a range of abilities and skill sets. One of our most popular is the 10-day Level 1 plumbing course. 

 

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. 

 

Start your plumbing journey today

 

To begin your journey towards a new profession or learning some seriously useful plumbing skills, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the YTA team today. Whatever your reason for needing to embark on an intensive plumbing course in the UK, we have got you covered!

”Best Course I’ve Ever Done!” New 5 Star YTA Review – Azher Ashraf – Scotland

“The best training school I’ve ever been to!” says Azher Ashraf from Scotland after completing multiple courses at YTA.

Azher left a fantastic 5 star YTA review following the completion of our plumbing, carpentry & joinery courses with more courses already booked in for the coming months!

The best training school I’ve ever been to. Travelled from Scotland and its the best course I’ve ever done. Paul the plumbing teacher was outstanding 10-10 for the help and knowledge. Dave in the tiling sector and Lawrence in joinery section were really good. Helped whenever asked this Is the best company in the UK. All hands on from the word go already booked on a kitchen course and joinery. They helped my self in every possible. Keep up the great work guys.

Thank you Azher for a great 5 star YTA review.

The 5 day plumbing course is suitable for total beginners with no previous experience or tradespersons such as tilers, plasterers, joiners, kitchen fitters etc who wish to undertake plumbing tasks from changing taps, plumbing in a kitchen sink including a washing machine to full bathroom replacements including fitting of radiators in order to gain more work and income. In the current climate the tradesperson who can do the whole job to a customer tends to gets the more jobs leaving the customer without the headache of finding multiple trades to complete a home project.

This plumbing course is aimed to give you enough skills to develop your expertise to a career in plumbing as many of our former plumbing candidates have or just to give you the confidence to take on plumbing projects around the house however small or large.

Our 5 day plumbing course will provide you with a great insight and understanding of the plumbing trade whether you are a total beginner or have some previous plumbing experience.

This 5 day intensive carpentry and joinery course is ideal if you are wanting to start a career in carpentry and eventually move on to gain your NVQ level 2 in Site Carpentry. No previous experience in carpentry is necessary. We also offer a 10 day course and 10 day level 1 course in carpentry & joinery.

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!

First week back!

It’s our first week back following lockdown and we are glad to report that our new working practices and social distancing is going really well. Plumbing and tiling courses were our first courses back training and we asked several students what they thought of our new COVID-19 safe set up to maintain safe working / training practices and all feedback was excellent and reassuring.

Here are a few photos form the first week back during the first couple of days.

Next week the plastering courses will start and followed by the carpentry courses. By the end of June we will be fully up and running with a safe phased return to training.
