Please note: some training companies may include other courses, which are not necessary to get you started in the plumbing industry. There’s more than enough to understand and learn in a new plumbing career, without the stress of learning 2 or more trades, at the same time. Our advice would be get started and then decide which areas you want to specialise or gain additional experience in, avoid being a ‘Jack of all trades, master of none’.
