Day four of the PITT Plumbing Course and we're in to the real meat of the course now with the start of the actual installation. So you can see what PITT and John have been trying to achieve with this course by putting all the required techniques and skills and knowledge into our heads for the first half of the week, so that we understand what we're are doing on the installation.

Firstly it's a case of getting out all the required sanitary ware, naturally with every piece that moves from storage into our hands comes complete with an explanation, an anecdote and John's own twist on things; there's just somethings you can't learn from a book.

For the installation we'll be working in our bays and fitting a pan and cistern, a radiator and basin and all the required piping to strict measurements.

John has us all working one task at a time after he's demonstrated the task to a few course members at a time to ensure they can see properly, after all there's only so many people who can crowd around one man, so John's repeating the notes and demos where required.

With the tips that John's been dispatching over the last few days some elements of the installation are proving really quite simple and most importantly enjoyable. Overall the class is very laid back and taking the task within their stride, working quietly along to the radio.

During the breaks I took the liberty to ask the other delegates about the knowledge they were learning and how they thought it would help them in their careers. Needless to say they are of the same opinion as myself in that the course provides an excellent learning experience, especially at the price and duration.

By the end of the day we've got our cistern and pan located and connected, including all the internal fittings as well as learning about different syphons and ball valves, we've also got the radiator and basin positioned, tomorrow we'll be piping it all up. You may be thinking that we've been taking our time doing the installation, but there's been a whole lot of demonstrations and learning along the way, which we've all required to do the installation correctly.

I'd also like to invite all tiling course providers to contact the Tiler Register to get their courses reviewed as all providers are welcome to the same review process.
