What the college says

For many a natural progression from Level 1 plumbing/electrical installation qualifications, this Level 2 course builds on the core practical skills previously developed, whilst adding more subject-specific knowledge. Delivered by experienced staff committed to helping individuals to achieve their highest potential, these courses are challenging from both practical and theoretical standpoints. At this level of study there is more emphasis on problem-solving, working independently and time-management – key attributes required to successfully transition into skilled employment.

What you need to get on

A minimum of four GSCEs at grade 3, including English and maths or successful completion of the Level 1 Plumbing qualification and good progress with English and maths. Applicants without suitable practical experience may be advised to commence study at Level 1.

How you are assessed

Learning a trade with tools and equipment, often in a college workshop or salon.

What this level means

The GCSE-equivalent step, and the usual route into Level 3.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?
