We now run 1 day Water Regulations Training for Plumbers old & new.

(Link removed this is an old thread)

It is not a difficult course and all plumbers should be trained in this to ensure they are not breaking the law on installations

No plumbing qualifications are necessary

Please get in touch for curriculum content and learning criteria

Cheerios boys name girls I've got it sorted.. Next week I've got the unvented hot water course to be looking forward to.. Any help??? Questions or ideas :bulb2:

 

[spanner]

dnno what on earth was thinking about there “boys name girls“ my apologies boys and girls..:hurray: And would appreciate a push of help with the following module... Thanks

 

[spanner]

where is there to get the best refresher on unvented hot water systems???

 

[sraheens]

I have completed the bpec course and the C&G course.
Bpec 1day course is just another money making exercise for colleges and bpec. Its a disaster you get the exam it tells you where the answer (open book) is and you make your decision.ABCD come on for the sake of plumbing in the future all bpecs 1 day 3 days nonsence must be stopped


If you have money and any level of experience you should be doing the C&G.

I am looking into this, the college I spoke to said it was a turn up on the day exam but others have said you need to self study, I have started re-reading the WRAS book but if anyone has any advice to help with potential revision then please let me know

If you have done it before. Get yourself the unvented design guide by corgi. Cost about 12 quid. Great reference book

Thanks bit but of an old tread depth.. when it runs out I'll investigate although I still have the old bible.

 

[Birdo25]

Hi, got a water regs course tomorrow. Can anyone give me some info on things I'll need to know and what sort of questions are in the test. Thanks

 

[newcastle phill]

Its open book

 

[Birdo25]

Ahh ok thanks. So it should be a case of reading the question and looking it up in the book.

 

[Ch4 plumbing]

Yes mate it's open book and really just a reference exercise, it's a lot easier if you know the basics and really should have revised sooner.

 

[Birdo25]

Thanks, was meant to be doing it in a few weeks but got told this afternoon im now doing it tomorrow. Is there anything you recommend reading up on beforehand?

 

[Ch4 plumbing]

If you go back into the water regulations part of the forum theirs loads of info to look at.

 

[spanner]

Of book

Thats not fair, mind you with only two week to go you must have started looking through the training manual ? Do you know the 1to 5 water categories?

This turn up & do the exam approach is what gives these courses a bad name. IMHO

 

[Ch4 plumbing]

What parts not fair Chris?

 

[chris watkins]

Oops.. Very Sorry CH4, not paying attention meant to quote the post below (too much beer), I know you are always more than fair!!

"Thanks, was meant to be doing it in a few weeks but got told this afternoon im now doing it tomorrow. Is there anything you recommend reading up on beforehand?"


Being told to attend a course the day before it starts, when there is a large manual to work through is not fair.

 

[spanner]

Mainly most of the questions are about regulations and contamination and notification to the undertakers if I can remember .. not too much to do as it's open book and the answers are going to be there.

No worries Chris I'm the same after a good bottle of red.

Hello spanner,

I done my BPEC Unvented and Water Regs qualifications at Ideal in Reading. They were both 1 day courses and cost £90 each which included lunch and refreshments.

For the unvented there was 2 theory open book examinations and 1 practical exam.

For the Water Regs it was 3 theory based exams with no practical involved.

 

[plumbgaspaul]

Just signed up to do the Water Regs at Ideal in Reading - £150 for the day (Vented and Unvested same cost) This is for 3rd July - don't seem to have many of these sessions available here or at their other centres around the country. Looked at a few other places and the costs were higher than this.
