This isn’t a training course; it is an assessment process to establish your knowledge as a Plumber and to show that you can meet the competence requirements of this level 2 Plumbing Diploma. As a time served Plumber, we will require you to provide evidence to show that you have been undertaking a variety of plumbing work for a minimum of 3 years. This can be by way of employer references and witness testimonies etc. Please see our additional information section, specifically with regards to soldering and pipe bending.
Able Skills has developed this process to assist experienced workers currently working in the plumbing industry to achieve C&G 6035.
These qualifications are unit structured with:
This Experienced Worker route will require you to:
Experienced but non-qualified Plumbers will be provided with a Home Study pack which covers the individual theory units which are then assessed in centre by way of online multiple-choice exams. Candidates suitable for this fast-track route will be allocated 10 days in centre to complete all practical tasks and the associated online exams. Candidates will need to bring their own tools with them to complete the practical tasks.
This is an assessment process based on the fact that candidates are industry experienced and have been undertaking plumbing work for in excess of 3 years and therefore, no training will be provided (other than for LCS where this is required)
Please ensure that you have extensive experience of soldering and pipe bending as this will play a large part across the various assessments being undertaken. If you do not have such experience, you may wish to consider our Home Study option – where full training will be provided.
Able Skills is open every week and we encourage visitors to our centre so please feel free to pop in and see what we do - No Appointment Required * No Sales * No Pressure
