Plumbing is basically called the work that is associated with the provision of providing water supply pippework that is used for fire fighting, for use with sanitary appliances, installation of gas, discharge pipework and drainage and the weathering of structures and buildings. Then again, plumbers are divided into plumbers called 'wet only plumbers' who deal with piped systems for water like bathroom suites, showers and installing radiators. Then there are plumbers that take additional plumbing courses to branch into the gas trade and install gas central heating system as well.

Plumbers venturing into the gas trade are registered with the Council of Registered Gas Installers on passing their Approved Certification Scheme (ACS). Whichever area the plumbers decide to work in, it is necessary that they are properly qualified and have a knowledge of water regulations and building regulations of their locality.

To become a plumber, it is necessary for you to have an ability and initiative to solve problems easily, a thirst for gaining new knowledge and technology and have a creative brain. It is also important that you have the potential to give sound judgment when required and most important, be honest and professional in your work.

Most of the plumbing training schools and establishments have a preference for people having a GCSE grade A-C level in Maths and Science or its equivalent. This requirement is to verify that the person has the mental ability to cope with the plumbing course. Other than this, being a plumber is very much a physical job.

You not only have to pass a plumbing course, but you have to be ready to get your hands dirty, be able to use tools and equipment in a safe way, should be ready to work in small and cramped places like under the sink, be ready to get in contact with excrement of all kinds in clogged drains and pipes and be a very fast learner as you learn more about plumbing with the increased experience you gain.

On completing your plumbing course, and starting your plumbing career, you should be surprised to learn that the average plumber earns about $40,000 per year, or more depending on your experience. If you become a self employed plumber, the amount you earn depends on how much time and effort you put in plumbing. An average self employed plumber earns about $50,000 - $70,000 a year; if you put in more working hours, you of course earn a lot more!
