Plumbing courses for beginners

mo · 2010-08-23T18:43:33+00:00

I am a keen DIYer but I know my limits, one of these is Plumbing, I am too afraid to cock it up incase I make a mistake and water leaks everywhere.I quite fancy going on a course and came across this: I am looking at the 4 day course which lasts 2 weekends and goes over the basis. It costs £350.1) Anyone been on this course or similar ones2) Will I come out capable of doing the basics or you really need a lot longer than 4 days to be able to pick things up?One of the things I wnat to be able to do is move my basthroom basin, which would require disconnecting the current pipes, extending them and then reconnecting them in a new position.For those that are DIYers but know a fair bit how did you learn?I might also consider some of the other courses, a lot of money to be saved on future tradesmen if I learn enough I guess.

I always find such combinations of quality and ineptitude perplexing.
