Premier Plumbing Course

Who is this course for?

While we refer to this as our ‘advanced’ plumbing course, it is actually open to everyone, regardless of prior experience or existing expertise. The course was specifically developed for absolute beginners, although we often recommend it to more accomplished plumbers who need to refresh their learning or get up-to-date with the latest industry standards.

Access Training provide courses for people of all ages, genders, races and nationalities; it doesn’t even matter where you live, as our training facilities are easily accessible from anywhere in the UK (and beyond – we frequently train candidates from other countries!)

Qualifications

Those who successfully complete this advanced plumbing and gas course will receive no fewer than six accredited qualifications:

1. City & Guilds 6035 Level 2 Plumbing– Completing this qualification will enable you to install bathroom suites, radiators, hot and cold water storage tanks, and a variety of other systems.
2. City & Guilds 6189-57 Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Plumbing and Heating– This is the ‘assessed in the workplace’ element of our advanced plumbing course. You will be assessed on a live scenario such as bathroom suite installation or carrying out repair/maintenance tasks.
3. Unvented Hot Water Storage Systems Certificate– Qualifies you to hold an ID card that demonstrates your competence when installing/maintaining unvented hot water storage systems.
4. WRAS Certificate– WRAS stands for Water Regulations Advisory Scheme. This certificate recognises you as a competent person and grants ‘Approved Contractor’ status.
5. Part P Domestic Electrical Installer– Qualifies you to install bathroom lighting, shaving sockets, boilers, and other domestic electrical installations. You will also be qualified to certify domestic installations (including full house re-wires).
6. ACS Gas Certificate– This certificate is needed to join the Gas Safe Register and legally install/maintain/test domestic gas appliances.

What does this course cover?

You will cover many different areas of knowledge en route to acquiring the qualifications listed above. These include:

• Health and safety
• Central heating systems
• Drainage
• Sanitation
• Bathroom installation
• Maintenance
• Electrical principles
• Water regulations
• Designing and installing unvented hot water storage systems
• Gas safety
• Cookers

This course is designed to give candidates a comprehensive knowledge of plumbing and gas principles. In addition to the practical and theoretical training you will receive at our training centre, you will also undertake a work placement with a professional gas engineer so as to complete a portfolio of evidence (this is necessary to achieve the ACS Gas Certificate that forms part of our premier plumbing course).

Progression

Completing the advanced plumbing course is just the beginning of your journey – we offer a number of other training programmes to suit budding plumbers and gas engineers, and undertaking one or more additional courses can really help you to gain a competitive edge over other plumbers in your location.

After you receive your advanced plumbing certificate, your tutors will be more than happy to discuss suitable progress routes with you.
