How to become a Plumber

Training as a plumbing & heating installer is a great way to begin a rewarding new career in the building services engineering sector.

What do I need to start

The training programme is aimed at complete new entrants so you do not need to have any plumbing skills; that is our job. You should have a good practical awareness and an ability to carry out practical tasks. You will need to be able to apply basic maths calculations and have a good grasp of written and spoken English as the standards and industry documents will be used throughout the course.

What will I learn

We offer four plumbing and heating training packages for new entrants:

Bronze Package – LCL Awards Level 2 Diploma in the Installation & Maintenance of Plumbing & Heating Systems. This qualification provides candidates with the basic essentials of plumbing and is a solid foundation for entry to the workplace or further training.

Silver Package – The silver package adds a Level 2 NVQ element to the Diploma, ideal for candidates with an onsite location to complete ‘real world’ tasks. This programme also covers the WRAS Water Regulations qualification. Demonstration of experience and WRAS are both required to apply for a JIB Plumbing Skills Card and Approved Plumber Status.

Gold Package – Our gold package combines the Level 2 Plumbing Diploma with Logic4training’s Managed Learning Programme (MLP) for Domestic Gas Heating Installers, providing the perfect starting point for candidates looking to go from plumbing to gas installation. On completion of the MLP, you will have achieved the onsite experience and Gas ACS certificates, necessary to become a Gas Safe registered engineer.
