I am currently in the forces and after getting to do a career in plumbing or be a electrician.I was thinking?
Asked by dean b
of doing a intensive 10wk course in either of these. Has anyone ever done one of these courses and how did you find it. I have a house and after i pass this course i believe i will prob after be a plumbers mate or something for a year to gain experience but don't know roughly how much i will be paid for being a plumbers/electricians mate till i have experience to start on my own. Any advice or information?

Best Answer:
Becoming either is an excellent idea as both are always in short supply. If you go for plumbing you may need to get a firm to support you by providing practical experience and the p[eople hosting the 10 week course will help with that. Money depends on where you are going to live but I think that you will be able to make £30 per hour easily. AS a self employed plumber with your own business chagres are min 1 hour at between £50 - £100. Get qualified and work hard you wont regret it Roy
