Hi, I am thinking of leaving school at the end of the year to become a plumber. I will be aged 16. I was wondering what is the best route towards my goal.

Just to clarify without NVQ level 2 as a minimum it will not be possible to get onto the Register of Plumbing Professionals. To get onto the Register of Heating Professionals you will need the plumbing NVQ and a fuel qualifications (ACS, Hetas, Oftec).

Thanks for your input Dick, In balance tho some of the most successful plumbers i know are self-employed anyway. Not to mention a great deal of people become a plumber with the intention of being self employed. It is a shame apprenticeships are not open to older people.

Cheers.

The only way to become a Plumber is to serve an apprenticeship. Employers will only employ kids fresh out of Skool.
