Successful results on these exams will enable the ability to register as a qualified Gas Safe plumber. It is recommended that you undertake a plumbing and pipework course as well in order to better understand pipework requirements in gas training.
Having recognised training and qualifications is a must to achieve your dream career of becoming a professional plumber. The plumbing and gas training course is a carefully planned, industry wide and recognised course that will progress your plumbing career even further.
