Make_the_right

Make the Right Start is a short distance learning course with an optional City & Guilds qualification. The course has been created to introduce people to the plumbing skills required to install copper tube and fittings, so that copper-based domestic plumbing installation work can be carried out quickly, competently and professionally.
