What's the best way of obtaining a year apprenticeship in plumbing?

I've looked online, but so far I have only found a few applications, which were not really useful to me I've been taking an online plumbing course, but what I really need is hands-on experience Is it worth a shot calling the local stores in my town? or do I need to go through a dedicated channel?

What do you mean a year apprenticeship? Have you already completed a few years and need someone to take you on for the final year? If this is the case you need to avail of the Redundant Apprentice Scheme.

A plumbing apprenticeship takes four years to complete, details here. This is the case regardless of online courses.

There are some positions available here.
