Practical, patient, hands-on teaching — built for people who want to actually do the work themselves.

From property maintenance to hands-on teaching
Hi, I’m Michael, founder of The Plumbing School. I created these courses to give people real confidence working on plumbing systems through practical, hands-on training in a live workshop environment.
Coming from a background in property maintenance, renovation and hands-on trade work, I know how frustrating it can be trying to learn plumbing from YouTube videos or theory-based courses. That’s why every course is built around real jobs and real situations you are likely to face at home.
You’ll work on live pipework, radiators, toilets, sinks and copper soldering systems in small groups with direct guidance throughout the course. No classroom lectures, no watching from the back — you will actually do the work yourself.
How you’ll learn
Do it yourself
Every task is hands-on. You’ll handle the tools, make the connections and test your own work.
Small groups
A maximum of four students means you get real time on the tools and direct support throughout.
Real situations
Live pipework, radiators, toilets, sinks and soldering rigs — the jobs you’ll actually face at home.
Who the courses are for
- Homeowners and DIY enthusiasts
- Career changers exploring the trades
- Tradespeople expanding their skills
- Anyone wanting practical confidence, safely
Leave with confidence
The aim is simple: leave with practical knowledge and the confidence to tackle plumbing jobs properly and safely.
