What's on offer
Unlike other training providers, The Plumbing Academy goes above and beyond the call of duty - it offers students extra training or special attention if needed, it has a full time staff member devoted to ongoing one-to-one student mentoring and it offers post-qualification support in the form of a help-line for students to use if they ever need technical assistance on a job.

“We look after our students, both current and past. We want them to be successful and happy with their choice of career. We also want them to be the best in the plumbing trade - our reputation for producing top quality plumbers relies on this.” said Steven Edwards, chief executive, The Plumbing Academy.

The Plumbing Academy also provides reference material to assist students with research, a quite study area and a dedicated on-line assessment and examination room. Under the supervision of our carefully selected training staff the Academy has created the perfect learning environment.
