PPL Weekend Bathroom installation course (York)

This Weekend Bathroom Installation course covers appliance building (WC, Bath and basin) and first and second fix pipework.  It is aimed at people who have some basic plumbing skills or have already complete the PPL Weekend Plumbing introductory course.  It is not advisable for those with no plumbing skills.  The aim is to teach a basic 'like for like' bathroom swap over a weekend on this bathroom installation course.

There are no theory lectures as this is a 'hands on' only bathroom course.  You must have a good sense of humour as the experienced plumbing tutors' jokes can be very bad!  On completion of this course you will be able to remove and perform a basic 'like for like' swap of a standard 3 piece bathroom suite - previous basic plumbing skills are required.

The course is not aimed at those wanting to go straightaway into being a plumber. For this we recommend the City & Guilds 6129 with Bpec and City & Guilds 6089 NVQ in Plumbing. Although the bathroom course is a good foundation for moving onto these courses.

This course is run at the weekend with a start at 10am on both Saturday and Sunday. It finishes about 4pm each day.  A buffet lunch is provided, however, as there is so much training to fit in over the weekend, we try to keep the lunchtime break as short as possible.

Please see the practical theory tab for more information on this Weekend Plumbing Introduction course.
