Plumbing and Domestic Heating Technician (Natural Gas Pathway) Apprenticeship

This qualification offers a practical approach, teaching how to plan, select, install, service, commission and maintain all aspects of plumbing and heating systems.

You will:

• Be trained to meet industry standards
• Cover all the required foundation skills, including domestic piping, the domestic water system, soldering and Health and Safety
• Work in the excellent facilities at our Construction Centre
• Consider more advanced and complex areas, such as gas safety, pressurised hot water and water regulations on the Level 3 Apprenticeship

This course is ideal if you have practical and problem-solving skills. You will need manual dexterity and be able to work precisely. Good communication is a plus, as you will work in customers’ homes and on building sites.

Next steps: 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.

Every employer is different and therefore the entry requirements can vary. As a guide, you ideally 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.
