“I chose this course because I knew I wanted to do something practical after completing my GCSEs. I also liked the challenge of being a girl in a male-dominated industry. I’m really passionate about plumbing and knew that I wanted to learn lots of different skills. The part that I enjoy most about this course is when I complete a task and my pipework is neat, as it gives me a real sense of satisfaction.”
