Course information
This is a trade qualification for plumbers in residential, industrial and commercial workplaces who are responsible for assembling, installing and maintaining water services, sanitary plumbing and sanitary drainage, gas, roofing and mechanical services in both existing and new constructions. This qualification has been specifically developed to meet the needs of the plumbing industry.
The plumbing industry strongly affirms that training and assessment leading to recognition of skills must be undertaken in a real or very closely simulated workplace environment and this qualification requires all units of competency to be delivered in this context.
While undertaking this qualification, apprentices gain the skills and knowledge to:
- Lay out, test and maintain pipes, fixtures, metal roofing, fittings, gas meters, regulators, units and appliances.
- Install equipment such as boilers, pumps, heating and cooling systems, natural gas appliances, water tanks, water heaters and solar water heating systems.
- Install, maintain and repair pipes in stormwater or sewerage systems and drains, septic tanks, holding wells, sullage pits and absorption tracks.
