This course is normally included as part of the 4 week professional plumbing course where new trainees are introduced to the skills of plumbing, and in the case of this course examined in the particular skills of installing copper pipe together with the necessary elements of cutting, jointing and bending the pipe.
For certification you will need to demonstrate your ability both theoretically and practically. The theory will be assessed using an open book (you can have reference material to hand), multiple choice exam, and for the practical you will be expected to install appliances connected together using copper pipe runs.
As a stand-alone course you can choose to attend for a shorter, two-day timescale if you can demonstrate that you have experience and expertise, needing only the qualification to further your career. Your experience must include the use of a pipe bender, ability to make capillary soldered joints and the capability to assemble appliances. The two days will equip you for the theory and practical aspects mentioned.
