Course Overview

This course is designed for adult learners whom have been working within the plumbing industry for minimum of five years, and wish to gain a recognised plumbing qualification.

City & Guilds has developed a process to assist experienced workers currently working in the industry. This enables the candidate to achieve the practical element of the combination unit(s) by submitting evidence of work activities from his/her workplace.

Any learning outcomes not covered by this process will still need to be achieved using other assessment methods required for the qualification. All the performance and knowledge unit assessments will still need to be completed in college.

Assessment Methods

NVQ portfolio internally assessed and externally verified. Formal observation in the workplace with online multiple- choice exams.

Progression Options

Possible progression on to the Plumbing Diploma Level 3 (full-time) or the Level 3 Apprenticeship.
