Assuming no prior knowledge of plumbing skills, Steve Muscroft,
the author of the "6129 Certificate in Basic Plumbing from City
& Guilds", takes the reader step by step through the
requirements of the 6129 qualification at Level 2. This highly
practical, student-focussed text, also provides all the necessary
underpinning knowledge required for the 6089 NVQ at Level 2, making
it essential reading for apprentices, as well as serving as a useful
reference for practicing plumbers.
The reader will be guided through each of the key areas and
processes in the field of Plumbing, with additional emphasis on
Health and Safety. The book fully covers the syllabus requirements
for the Level 2 Technical Certificate and NVQ, and readers will find
topics essential to actual plumbing practice, not included as part
of the Level 2 specifications, are also introduced, such as gas
fired boilers, service and maintenance aspects, and reference to the
Water Regulations (1999).
All material is fully in line with latest British Standards (BS
6700 and BS800). The book is designed to maximise accessibility of
the text for the reader. Activities feature per topic area covered,
to allow application of theory into practical contexts, along with
Test Yourself questions at the end of each chapter for use during
college / centre training.
These can also be compiled into the students portfolio as
evidence of learning. Each chapter concludes with a set of multiple
choice questions, following the style of the "City & Guilds"
knowledge assessment, enabling the student to revise the key
concepts introduced in that chapter. These MCQs will also prove
essential preparation for the 6129 Technical Certificate exam. Model
answers and answers to activities are included for reference.
