Hey, thinking about how to be a plumber properly. Do I really need to get all the certificates and qualifications straight away, or can I just learn on the job with a good plumber? Feels like everyone’s got a different opinion, so not sure what’s best. Any advice for someone just starting out?

Look, mate, plumbing isn’t just about fixing leaks or fitting pipes. It’s about doing a proper, safe job for people’s homes and businesses. Without the right qualifications, you’re not just risking the work – you’re risking safety, and that’s not on.

Getting qualified isn’t just a box to tick; it’s about learning the correct way to do things and proving you’ve got the skills. Customers trust qualified plumbers for a reason. If you skip that and try to learn as you go, you’re cutting corners, and that’s not the kind of reputation you want in this trade.

Take it seriously, get your training and certifications sorted, and you’ll not only do better work but also get more respect in the industry. This isn’t a trade for shortcuts.

You want to be a plumber? Then take it seriously. This isn’t a trade where you can just ‘learn as you go’ and hope for the best. You’re working with systems that can flood homes, ruin property, or worse, cause serious harm if you mess up.

Getting qualified isn’t just about ticking a box – it’s about knowing you’re doing things the right way, safely and up to standard. Yeah, you’ll pick up loads of skills working with a good plumber, but without proper training and certificates, you’re just a liability.

No customer wants a cowboy turning up to their home, and no decent plumber wants to work alongside someone who doesn’t know the basics. Put the effort in, get the qualifications, and earn your place in the trade. There’s no shortcut to doing it right.
