This course poses as a wonderful way to amp up your knowledge, skills, and expertise as desired, as the course will get you familiarized with both the theories and practicals at the same time. This course is also ideal if you simply want to learn pipe fitting to understand the mysteries and to fix your home plumbing systems.

The basics of plumbing to the most advanced aspects such as drains and vents in a water distribution system are covered through the very compressive modules of this course. The first basic laws of nature such as gravity, pressure and water seeking its own level will also be taught, so that you can base you pipe repairing decisions based on them.

You will come across chapters that will talk about backflows, pathogens, and the most important principle-hydraulic principles. Moving on, you will realise the importance the tutors have placed upon understanding the different plumbing fittings, plumbing repairs, and plumbing tools through this course.

The course has been endorsed under the Quality Licence Scheme. This means that Global Edulink* has undergone an external quality check to ensure that the organisation and the courses it offers, meet defined quality criteria.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
