Course Overview
If you would like to go from beginner to expert in a single training course, Access Training’s Advanced Plumbing course is ideal for you.
This training programme is the perfect primer for candidates who wish to achieve industry-level qualifications and enter the trade as a Professional Plumber and Heating Engineer. It is difficult to complete accredited plumbing courses (e.g. City & Guilds, WRAS) if you don’t already have a firm knowledge of plumbing to build upon, and our advanced plumbing course will give you everything you need to succeed and progress.
You will also have the chance to gain the gas qualification that allows you to join the Gas Safe Register and complete an even wider range of work, such as installing and servicing gas boilers.
This course can be studied part-time or full-time, and it is ideal for candidates who wish to remain in work whilst training for a new career in the plumbing/gas trade.
