    Couldn’t believe my eyes…. not only the worst ‘acting’ I’ve ever seen but upon seeing his wm leaking he then goes on to say how his plumbing course wouldn’t mean he’d have to fork out to repair it.

    Who on earth does these things? Five year olds?

    I mentioned it in the rumour mill D+G thread.

    Its a training skills course, you failed to mention he could now gain £20-40,000 a yr as an appliance engineer. :rolls:

    Its becoming a flooded industry.

    You didn’t give the name of the company in that thread either. Can you recall their name?

    Very true this trade is flooded now in my opinion. For the last five years loads of plumbling trade academys (or what they call themselves) have sprung up, the trouble is there are’nt enough plumbing jobs out there.
    This trade is starting to suffer from the same over enthusiastic training companies, one even advertises on this site.

    Well he’s got a leak at the front gasket; so his training has taught him to remove the back panel and spin the pulley………we’ve got nowt to worry about!!
    Storm in a teacup IMHO.

    Actually looking at the http://www.train4tradeskills.com/ in more detail, nowhere does it offer training for domestic appliance engineers.

    Well that was my main point, they can’t distinguish between a plumber and an appliance engineer. Bloody clueless bunch of muppets imo.

    Hi guys

    They only train plumbers and electrictions basic realy as other few train in handyman. I did a plumbing course with them years ago and would not advise anyone to waste there money on any course with them.

    kind regards
