The course is divided into Trade Practical (hands-on skills) and Trade Theory (technical knowledge), supported by ancillary subjects.
This module focuses on developing precise manual and technical skills essential for a qualified plumber.
Tools and Safety:
Mandatory Safety Training: Comprehensive training in Occupational Safety and Health (OSH&E), use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), Fire Extinguisher operation, and basic First Aid for electrical shock and burns.
Hand Tool Mastery: Proper use, care, and maintenance of all essential plumbing tools (e.g., pipe wrench, hacksaw, pipe cutter, thread dies, crimping tools, spirit level, plumb bob).
Pipe Fitting and Joining:
Pipe Preparation: Practice in measuring, cutting, deburring, and bending various types of pipes (GI, PVC, CPVC, PPR, Copper).
Threading and Jointing: Cutting internal and external threads on metal pipes using taps and dies; joining PVC/CPVC pipes using solvent cement; making leak-proof joints with sealants.
Basic Allied Skills: Practice in soldering and brazing for copper pipe work; basic Gas and Arc welding for joining different diameter metal pipes.
Water Supply Systems:
Installation: Laying pipelines for both hot and cold water distribution; installing valves, cocks, taps, and water meters.
Testing: Conducting water pressure tests to check for leaks and ensuring proper alignment.
Drainage and Sanitary Systems:
Fixtures: Installation and fixing of sanitary fixtures like Water Closets (WCs), wash basins, urinals, and kitchen sinks.
Drainage Laying: Understanding house drainage systems, installing traps (P, S, and floor traps), and laying drainage pipelines with the correct slope and alignment.
Chamber Construction: Basic knowledge and practice of constructing inspection chambers and manholes (often involves masonry/brick wall cutting practice for concealing pipes).
This module provides the cognitive knowledge behind the practical work.
Plumbing Fundamentals:
Role of the plumber, basic plumbing terminology (pipes, fittings, fixtures).
Properties, types, and uses of different pipe materials (PVC, CPVC, GI, Copper, Cast Iron).
Water Systems Theory:
Sources of water, water distribution methods (direct and indirect), and the importance of water quality and basic treatment.
Principles of Water Pressure, Flow, and Hydraulics in domestic plumbing.
Sanitation and Drainage Theory:
Working principle of traps and vent pipes (vented/unvented systems).
Design and construction of simple septic tanks and soak pits.
Advanced Concepts (Introduction):
Basics of Solar Water Heating systems and Rainwater Harvesting.
Reading and interpreting simple plumbing drawings and blueprints.
Maintenance and Repair:
Causes and remedies for common problems (leaks, blockages, corrosion).
These mandatory subjects support overall professional development.
Engineering Drawing (ED): Interpretation of standard plumbing symbols, sketching different pipe joints, and drawing basic water supply layouts.
Workshop Calculation & Science (WCS): Applied mathematics for calculating pipe lengths, material quantities, tank capacity, and basic geometry for bending pipes and laying slopes.
Employability Skills: Training in basic communication, professionalism, entrepreneurship, and basic computer literacy.
The overall goal is to produce a technician capable of performing installation, repair, and maintenance of both water supply and sanitary systems.
