City & Guilds Level 2 Plumbing Course for Experienced Plumbers

If you have been working as a Plumber for a minimum of 3 years but have never achieved a Plumbing qualification, then this fast-track 6035 assessment process may be just what you need.

This isnt a training course; it is an assessment process to establish your knowledge as a Plumber and to show that you can meet the competence requirements of this level 2 Plumbing Diploma. As a time served Plumber, we will require you to provide evidence to show that you have been undertaking a variety of plumbing work for a minimum of 3 years. This can be by way of employer references and witness testimonies etc.

Able Skills has developed this process to assist experienced workers currently working in the plumbing industry to achieveC&G 6035.

These qualifications are unit structured with:

• Practical Units:These are achieved by a mix of knowledge and practical activities in simulated conditions within the centre.
• Knowledge Units:These units are assessed by multi-choice tests / assignments undertaken in the training centre.

This Experienced Worker route will require you to:

• Provide evidence that you have a minimum of 3 years plumbing experience
• Undertake study at home to prepare you for the online exams in centre
• Undertake practical assessments in centre

You may want to be assessed for NVQ also, if this is the case, please seeNVQ Level 2 Plumbing Assessments. Alternatively, with a plumbing qualification under your belt, you may want to move in to thegas industry. In addition, you could considerWater Regulations,Energy Efficiency(Part L) orVented & Unvented Hot Water Systems(G3). Training is available at Able Skills for any of the above listed courses.
