About The Plumbing book 2:
Written by Stephen Lane, Peter Tonner;
You are completing one of the following qualifications:
- Level 3 Advanced Technical Diploma in Plumbing (8202-35)
- Level 3 Diploma in Plumbing Studies (6035-03)
- Level 3 Diploma in Plumbing and Domestic Heating (9189).
The Level 3 Advanced Technical Diploma and Level 3 Diploma in Plumbing Studies are for learners who are interested in developing the specific technical and professional skills that can support development towards becoming a plumber, progressing from Level 2 qualifications.
The Level 3 Diploma in Plumbing and Domestic Heating is the on-programme qualification for the Plumbing
and Heating Technician Apprenticeship and is designed to provide the apprentice with the opportunity to
develop the knowledge, skills and core behaviors that are expected of a competent Plumbing and Domestic
Heating Technician operating in a number of regulated areas.
To become a fully recognised plumber, you must complete the following:
- Plumbing and Heating Technician Apprenticeship (9189).
- The 8202 Advanced Technical Diploma and 6035 Level 3 Diploma provide the knowledge and practical skills to
prepare you for an apprenticeship 9189
The apprenticeship and Level 3 Diploma will give you an understanding of suitable on-site skills and further knowledge required to work in the plumbing industry. Once qualified, there are many specialist qualifications available, such as environmental technology systems and designing and planning complex water systems.
The requirements for successfully obtaining your qualification depend on which programme you are enrolled on.
Level 3 is assessed using one multiple choice examination and one practical synoptic assignment.
For the synoptic assignment, a typical brief might be to install a cold water supply and hot water distribution pipework connected to all sanitary appliances. You will need to draw on skills and understanding developed across the qualification content in order to consider the specific requirements of the particular system and related plumbing principles, and carry out the brief. This includes the ability to plan tasks, such as plant, materials
and equipment for an installation, and apply the appropriate practical and hand skills to carry them out using appropriate tools and equipment.
You will also demonstrate that you are following health and safety regulations at all times by drawing upon your knowledge of legislation and regulations.
The exam draws from across the content of the qualification, using multiple choice questions to:
- confirm breadth of knowledge and understanding test applied knowledge and understanding - giving the opportunity to demonstrate higher-level integrated understanding through application, analysis and evaluation.
Level 3 is assessed using multiple choice tests and practical assignments. These will happen at the end of each phase of learning, with there being four phases in total. Learners will also be expected to keep a work log
for the duration of the programme.
The apprenticeship is assessed separately to the on-programme qualification and is assessed by an end-point assessment (EPA). In order to progress through the end-test gateway to end-point assessment, you must complete the following:
- Level 3 Diploma in Plumbing and Domestic Heating qualification (9189)
- Level 2 Maths
- Level 2 English.
The graded EPA will be comprised of the following assessment methods:
- multiple choice test design project
- practical installation test
- practical application test
- professional discussion.
