Assessments

You will be required to undertake a knowledge test, skills test and professional discussion as part of the end-point assessment.

Entry Requirements

Every employer is different and therefore the entry requirements can vary. As a guide, you will need GCSE grade 4 in English and Maths. However, we will work with you and provide additional support to help you achieve their requirements, either prior to your apprenticeship or during the delivery of your programme.

Progression

On completion of the Level 3 apprenticeship you will be a fully qualified plumber able to work on the installation and maintenance. You may look to diversify into a specialist area of the trade, such as eco-systems or air-conditioning.
