Where to begin with your plumbing career

When you start out, regardless of the route you take, you will need to complete both the NVQ and the underpinning knowledge. The underpinning knowledge is most often the City and Guilds 6129 and the NVQ is provided by either City and Guilds or EAL. The qualifications you need are:

  • City and Guilds 6129 Certificate in Basic Plumbing Level 2
  • City and Guilds 6129 Certificate in Domestic Plumbing Level 3

and

  • City and Guilds 6089 NVQ Level 3

or

  • EAL NVQ Level 3

The next steps...
