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!

5 Star Selfie!

A customer selfie and another fantastic 5 star review for YTA!

Had the best experience on the plumbing course, this is coming from a man who hasn’t attended a course in 20 years or so, so I was very nervous… Had the best tutors Graham & Lyndon who made the whole experience both enjoyable and very informative at the same time.. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to step out of their comfort zone and change direction in life I’ve learned so much these last 2 weeks thanks to all involved x

YTA 1 day Plumbing Course Review

A new 5 star recent review following the completion of the YTA 1 day plumbing course.

I really enjoyed my day plumbing! I went into it with a general fear of plumbing, but I couldn’t believe how much we learnt – working in copper, plastic, solder. The tuition was brilliant – structured, approachable and informative. I’m going to try to book on for more!

Many thanks for the prompt review following the completion of the 1 day plumbing course today Lindsay. Another 5 star YTA review! Very much appreciated. I’m glad you enjoyed the course and we look forward to seeing you on the more courses.

During the 1 day plumbing taster course you will cover the below topics:

  • Use compression joints, end feed (soldering joints) and pipe bending techniques.
  • Work with copper and plastic pipe
  • Fit kitchen sink taps and waste
  • Plumb in a kitchen sink and test up to full working pressure

The 1 day plumbing taster course can be suited to your requirements, if you would just like to ‘have a go’ at plumbing and see how you get on then we can devise a taster day. You can plumb in a kitchen sink or work with pipework and use professional tools and equipment. Spend a day at YTA on the 1 day plumbing taster course and get to grips with learning basic pipefitting skills to plumbing in a small project such as a radiator or a kitchen sink.

To book on the next available 1 day plumbing course at YTA please call the centre on 01274682199.

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.

Great place to train to be a tiler. Very friendly environment and all members of staff are very helpful and knowledgeable

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.
