This package of learning will take you through learning to achieve a City & Guilds level 2 Plumbing qualification, WRAS and G3 certificates and move you on to assessment for NVQ.
The City & Guilds level 2 Diploma qualification forms the basis of knowledge for all modern domestic plumbing and the NVQ will assist you if you are looking to undertake site related work. A WRAS certificate will enable you to join an Approved Contractors' Scheme like WIAPS - Water Industry Approved Plumbers' Scheme and a G3 certificate will open the door for you to work on Unvented Hot Water Systems.
These are industry recognised, formal trade qualifications and are required in order for candidates to progress further in the plumbing industry.
The level 2 Plumbing Diploma course is a real mixture of practical and theory training, and you are assessed for the qualification by undertaking both practical assignments and on-line exams. We will provide you with everything you need to achieve this qualification including a level 2 Plumbing reference book. Our level 2 Plumbing training centre has fantastic facilities with an abundance of up-to-date tools and equipment for you to use and the entire course is supported by the tuition and guidance of our dedicated Plumbing Instructors. Additionally, we will also provide access to a variety of plumbing videos to assist you during your training and afterwards should you ever need a quick refresher when you are on a job.
C&G 6189 – NVQ
The level 2 NVQ is achieved by way of work-based assessments once you have access to work. Achievement of the NVQ will give you access to a JIB PMES Blue Card which will be a requirement for any site work you are considering.

G3 – Vented and Unvented Hot Water Systems

The NVQ aspect is work based assessment and you will be allocated an Assessor to assist you through the process. Prior to allocating you with your NVQ portfolio, we will ensure that you undergo a profiling session with your assessor so that the entire NVQ process and requirements can be explained to you fully.
