Online Plumbing Courses

If you looking to learn to become a Plumber and would like to receive a qualification, then Able Skills will be able to assist you with this.

To gain a Nationally recognised Plumbing qualification, you will need to receive training and be assessed on both your theory knowledge of the subject and practical tasks also.

The units that you are assessed on are:

Unit 201/501 Health and safety in building services engineering – multiple choice on-line exam and a practical assessment

Unit 202/502 Electrical principles and processes for building services engineering  – multiple choice on-line exam and a practical assessment

Unit 203 Scientific principles for domestic, industrial and commercial plumbing – multiple choice on-line exam only

Unit 204/504 Common plumbing processes – multiple choice on-line exam and a practical assessment – multiple choice on-line exam and a practical assessment

Unit 205/505 Cold water systems – multiple choice on-line exam and a practical assessment

Unit 206/506 Domestic hot water systems – multiple choice on-line exam and a practical assessment

Unit 207 Sanitation – Practical assessment only

Unit 208/508 Central heating systems – multiple choice on-line exam and a practical assessment

Unit 209/509 Drainage systems – multiple choice on-line exam and a practical assessment

Unit 210 Understand how to communicate with others within building services engineering – multiple choice on-line exam only

 

It is not possible to achieve a nationally recognised Plumbing qualification like City & Guilds 6035 at level 2 solely by learning on-line due to the practical tasks that need to be undertaken to achieve this qualification – you can’t do these at home as you need to be (trained) and your competence assessed by a qualified Assessor.

At Able Skills, we offer 3 options to gain a Plumbing qualification.

Full time – Please see City & Guilds Level 2 Plumbing Course

This is a full time, Monday-Friday course and is completed in 6 consecutive weeks.

Part Time – Please see City & Guilds Level 2 Plumbing Course

This is completed using weekend training – 2 consecutive weekends per month over a 6/7 month period

Home Study – Please see Plumbing Home Study

This Home Study option is as close as you are likely to get to an On-Line Plumbing Course! This option allows you to study at home and at your own pace. We will provide you with a level 2 Plumbing Home Study pack, the C&G book that supports the course, as well as access to a C&G On-Line learning resource called Smartscreen.

Smartscreen will give you access to a range of learning resources and works well to support our Home Study pack.

Once your learning is at a point that you feel ready to come to the training centre, you will then need to book your time with us. In total, you will attend for 4 weeks (Monday-Friday) – this attendance can be broken in to 4 separate training weeks. During this time, you will receive practical training, undertake practical assessments and also complete the exams on the subjects that you will have studied at home for.
