Working as a plumbing lecture

[Matt0029]

As anyone on here worked as a plumbing lecture, have always fancied it maybe parlty due to the holidays. Seen jobs adverts with no experience necessary.

Sounds like a nightmare, training one apprentice is bad enough, Imagine a class full of teenagers who can barely work up the energy to breathe.

I’ve lectured in college, a lot want you to have a formal qualification in teaching these days. There is quite a lot in the background, planning stuff etc. And engineering colleges often have either corporate or international students come over during the summer so it’s not like a school teacher necessarily who gets 6 weeks off. A lot of the kids don’t really want to be there and managing behaviour is quite hard. It can be rewarding to pass on your experience.

if you could lecture to adults and not kids who will constantly disrupt things I would like to think I would like to teach . I wouldn’t have the patience with the kids.

The classroom type guys who wore a shirt were on about £30k, the guys teaching workshop stuff were on a bit less. The guy leading each discipline was on £45-50k. The guys I waited with seemed to do about 3 days a week of work and a couple of days tinkering with personal projects. Comes with a decent pension which most jobs don’t these days.

I only dipped in and out of it to teach specific stuff. I think the craft guys who wanted to be on the tools would have been hard work if you were the one tasked with teaching them something dry.

As John says would be good if you could stick to adults.

I don’t want to burst your bubble but..........
The reality is you must gain a formal teaching qualification (in your own time). The contact (actual teaching)hours may seem short at 6hrs a day.
However, the administration, preparation, marking etc. can be endless.
Usually with no help or support. Teaching ‘full time’ students who have little or no interest in plumbing. Then having to meeting success targets, set my management, to qualify for funding.
All overseen by Awarding Bodies who are also vying for funding.
If this appeals to you go for it.

Yes Dan.
Willingness to gain said qualifications, means you would be unqualified and thus on a much lower rate than the 40k mentioned.
