Course description
Plumbing, Heating and Gas Installer Gold Package
Starting with our Level 2 Plumbing Diploma, candidates will be given a good grounding in plumbing covering central heating, cold and hot water systems. Featuring practical pipework installation and maintenance skills, as well as health & safety and legislation, this element of our gold package takes place in the classroom.
The next step is the Domestic Gas Managed Learning Programme (MLP), which culminates in Gas ACS and Gas Safe registration. Including all the necessary qualifications – Hot Water Systems & Safety, Energy Efficiency for Domestic Heating – our MLP provides the skills and experience required to become a registered gas installer.
A key part of the MLP is onsite work experience and the completion of a portfolio, which demonstrates competence in a range of ‘real world’ tasks – we can arrange a placement for you if required (at extra cost).
Suitability - Who should attend?
There are no prerequisites for these courses, but we will assess candidates to check their suitability. A good understanding of maths and English is essential.
Training as a plumber and gas installer is ideal for practically minded people – if you like fixing things, solving problems and working with your hands, then this programme could be for you.
