Has anyone here as a complete beginner undertaken a 5 day intensive
course in, say, plumbing? I saw the 5 day intensive course advertised
by Able Skills and it does sound good.

Is it possible though for someone who is completely lacking in both
confidence and technical skills to get anything from a 5 day intensive
course?

The last straw for me was paying a plumber £60 to tighten a f******
radiator nut.

Where I you based? Maybe one of the regulars will let you watch or help on a
project that they are doing. I would.


Me too if it helps.
