Testimonials

They took me seriously and made me feel welcome!
Course: City & Guilds 6129 Level 2 and Level 3
I have just completed my ACS gas qualification in less than a year at The Plumbing Academy, in Edenbridge. I got made redundant last year after working 26 years in an office, and with the economy and job situation, I thought how could I narrow the odds in my favour to get a job. So I went for plumbing and heating as not many females are in the trade.
I went to a couple of places before I chose The Plumbing Academy, and I chose this because they took me seriously and made me feel welcome.
Christine Herring Training was fine; you just had to take your time. The lads were quite competitive with each other, but I just let them get on with it. I had fantastic classmates in both Level 2 and Level 3 and they made me feel part of the team. Lots of exams throughout the whole course, physical work was ok, again just take your time. Content of the course was ok, lots of reading, but who would have thought that every pipe and every fitting in your house has a name. You do get there in the end, but you do feel sometimes like information overload.
Facilities of The Plumbing Academy were great, including the lecture rooms, but some fittings do need to be replaced more often.
The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and I feel that I could ring if I had any problems.
For my future plans, I would like to work 3 days a week with a company and 2 days for myself working mainly on annual servicing, boiler fault finding and repairs. I'm not into boiler installs, but would always have a go.
Yes, I would recommend The Plumbing Academy because I had a great time and I would like to thank all the staff for their fantastic help and patience.

I Feel Confident In Plumbing Now Thanks To Teachers!
Course:City & Guilds 6129 Level 2 Plumbing Course (Full Time)
Teachers are very useful in the class and workshops. I come into this course knowing nothing and I feel very confident in plumbing now, thanks to the tutors.
Practical facilities are very good, lots to do with lots of space to work in. Classroom lessons are very useful when revising and talking about exams.
Classes range from small to big. There is a canteen where everyone has lunch and everyone can chat about the course and socialise.

Course: Trade Fast Track City & Guilds 6129 and NVQ2 Certification program
Five Stars, would not change a thing... The Plumbing Academy is a very good training centre. "I would recommend it to anyone who is a plumber that needs to gain there qualifications". The Fast Track City & Guilds 6129 and NVQ2 Program is great and meets the need of any existing trade plumber who has to work while gaining the qualifications.

Great place to learn, Excellent Training
Course: City & Guilds 6129 Level 2 Plumbing (Full Time)
I would like to thank both you and your staff for all your help in delivering such a professional, positive and stimulating experience. "The training provided by your staff was excellent and second to none, and just goes to show that people from a non industry background can be trained to be highly competent plumbers".
I have enjoyed the experience so much that I have enrolled onto the Level 3 course. In particular I would like to say a special thanks to Chris, Dave and Leigh in the workshop and Wendy in the front office for all their help, encouragement and guidance. I know that the rest of my class mates would like to pass on their thanks as well.I look forward to seeing you all soon.
