Ok, I know it's a long shot here but I was wondering if we have any female plumbers on here and just wanted to know how you got started?
Did you start an apprenticeship or did you go from training into self-employment? x |

I'm not a female plumber, but I am a plumber.
You can go to private training centres such as OLCI or similar places and gain a C&G but you still need to have on-site experience.
Good luck!!! |

Yeah, now that I think about it, I'm not sure why I specified female plumbers.  But thank you for the response.
I have completed a Level 1 multi-skills course in construction (Plumbing, carpentry, painting & decorating, tiling, ect) which has got me a C&G diploma and CSCS card but I'm struggling to get any hands-on experience.
Been applying for apprenticeships and trainee positions all over the place, including contacting some local plumbers about un-paid work experience. A lot of places require you to have your own tools and van ect so I don't know if I'm just chasing rainbows here... Can't afford any of that anytime soon
I just have no idea where to start. |

I started doing plumbing and found a company who was happy to take me on. Then I found out I was pregnant so I left. Didnt want to risk anything. I do wonder how many men would offer to pay behind the door lol. |
