  Assessment

The course is assessed by continuous practical assessments with written knowledge questioning for each unit.

  Work Experience

Your course may include work experience or a work placement that could lead to the offer of a part-time or casual work, or you might work outside of your studies. Our students benefit from local site visits and trips to construction companies.

  Progression

After successful completion of the course, you will be prepared to move into further study or employment in plumbing and construction. Dependent upon experience, a plumber has the potential to earn anywhere between £12K and £40K per year, so the time to train in plumbing has never been better.

You may be exempt from paying fees though, or eligible to pay a reduced fee – known as fee remission.
