Domestic Plumbing SVQ

What is special about this course?

Learn while you work with Modern Apprenticeships (MAs) and Scottish Vocational Qualifications (SVQs). Modern apprenticeships in Scotland are available for people who are aged over 16 and in employment. With on-the-job training and regular meetings in the workplace you can gain a recognised qualification without studying full-time.  Funding for MAs can be gained from Skills Development Scotland.

Studying within the structure of a Plumbing Modern Apprenticeship, the course is a combination of work based and college training.  It provides the dual benefit of gaining a nationally recognised qualification while being paid as you work.  Over the course of your four-year apprenticeship, you will work to achieve the SVQ 3 in Mechanical Engineering Systems: Domestic Plumbing

Entry requirements

Four qualifications at SCQF Level 4 or equivalent.  All candidates must undertake the Plumbing Industry's selection test with SNIPEF (Scottish and Northern Ireland Plumbing Employer's Federation).  See www.snipef.org.uk for details. 

You must be in relevant employment.
