What the college says

This is a challenging and rewarding Level 2 one year course for adults (19+) who are seeking employment in the plumbing industry. The course is a stepping stone to a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) at Level 2 which is the required level to be recognised as a qualified tradesperson. To complete the route to industry certification, you will complete this course and can then top up to an NVQ level 2 diploma through additional training. To do this you need to be able to gain work experience with a qualified professional who can oversee your work. The course runs in two groups based on numbers. One group attends on a Tuesday and Wednesday, and the other on a Wednesday and Thursday.

Standard entry to this course requires one reference. It is desirable that you can demonstrate 90% attendance. A GCSE in both English and maths at grade 3 (D) or above is required.

Candidates will be required to compile a portfolio of evidence. All applicants will be required to complete an initial assessment to determine suitability for this course.
