I’ve seen an advert which offers distance learning courses in plumbing. Will I be able to qualify as a plumber if I do this?

To be a fully qualified plumber you need an adequate amount of practical study to accompany the theoretical side. The S/NVQ Level 2 plumbing courses taught at technical colleges include mandatory work experience. You cannot be adequately trained on a theory-only course.
