The Plumbskill Centre was originally started in 2003 offering Plumbing and Heating courses to anyone wishing to change careers. Since then we have moved to much larger premises so can now offer a range of courses to suit you all under one roof.

As I am sure you are aware from the media coverage and also possibly from your own experiences there is an acute shortage of building tradesmen in the UK. The reason for this is quite simple. For the past 15 to 20 years school leavers have found it virtually impossible to gain apprenticeships in the building trade. This has resulted in a shortage as there are thousands of tradesmen retiring every year and not being replaced. They say there is no such thing as a job for life but when it comes to building trades this is not the case. Owning a house is the largest investment most people will make. Who builds and maintains these houses? Thousands of houses have to be built every year to keep up with demand. We are not just talking houses there are also factories, offices, hotels and shops that all need to be built and maintained. Who is going to do it? It could be you.

Travelling from abroad
We have had many students who have come to us from Ireland, France and Spain. With two airports (Bournemouth and Southampton) close by it could not be easier. We can even arrange to collect you from the airport and return you on completion of the course. With accommodation in Blandford town close to the plumbing training centre there is no reason for you to have your own transport.

The Courses we have to offer

All our courses are practical hands on [actually doing it] no classroom studies. Theory work is important, but we believe the best place to do this in the comfort of your own home. With the paperwork that we supply you, and books that we can advise you on, we feel this to be the best option.

Plumbing and Heating
Our plumbing and heating courses, whether you attend the 1 week domestic plumbing course or the 2 week plumbing and heating course will give you enough knowledge and skill to earn good money from this lucrative trade. There are various options open to you after attending either of the plumbing courses i.e. complete career change, to compliment other building skills you already have or even do your own plumbing in your own home.
