This Level 2 qualification is perfect if you do not have employment in the industry, but wish to enter the plumbing trade in the long-term.
The course will cover the following:
The Diploma Certificate in Plumbing Level 2 is gained by successfully completing theory exams and specified practical assessments. The theory sessions will provide you with new technical concepts and safe working practices. The practical sessions will consolidate these practices with an opportunity for hands on experience. On completion of the course, you will be able to understand the principles of plumbing, and be able to install, commission and maintain hot and cold water systems, sanitation equipment i.e. bathroom suite and associated drainage.
You will need to have gained at least two GCSEs at grade 4/C or above in English and Maths, or possess an equivalent qualification. In addition, you must successfully pass a college aptitude test, complete an initial Maths assessment and show enthusiasm and motivation.
On completion of the Technical Certificate, you can progress on to NVQ Levels 2/3 in Plumbing, providing you have gained full-time employment in the plumbing industry. The Level 3 NVQ will provide training in unvented hot water, or the ACS gas qualification.
