Update: 2025-12-07
Description
Cowboy Plumbers Episode Summary:A podcast investigation reveals a concerning trend of five-day courses turning beginners into plumbers, with organizer Taher Shahs Plumbers Goldmine Academy teaching students to overcharge customers. The courses, which focus on upselling and targeting British customers, are reportedly widespread across the UK, despite concerns from the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering. An undercover reporter found the courses emphasize maximizing earnings over repair skills, with examples of charging anywhere from £50 to £2,000 for the same job. The organizers spokesperson denies instruction on dishonesty or overcharging, claiming the course is a basic introduction to plumbing.
