Overview
I worked as a journalist and editor in the UK plumbing and heating industry for over 18 years. In that time I met people who were passionate about what they did... and I also met those who really shouldn't have been in the industry at all! That's what made me decide to write a book about a career in plumbing. This book covers everything you need to know about becoming a professionally qualified plumber in the UK, but more importantly, it explains the different career paths available after you have qualified. There are case studies showing people in different stages of their career, from Apprentice to Senior Public Health Engineer. This book is suitable for parents and young adults, as well as more mature individuals who are thinking of changing their career. It explains about the qualifications that are needed and how to gain entry into the industry. It has examples of assessment questions (and answers!) and interview tips, which will benefit those wishing to enrol on college courses. There are also tips on writing a credible CV. At the back of the book you will find a comprehensive list of contacts, which will be helpful now and in the future. The plumbing and heating industry is a great place to work. It needs enthusiastic individuals who are keen to learn throughout their career and strive to be the best. Those individuals will go far as there will always be a demand for professional plumbers and heating installers.
