What does an open learning or distance learning plumbing course involve?
Becoming a plumber requires you to learn how to fit, maintain and fix central heating systems, water supplies and pipes, toilet and bathroom systems. Open learning plumbing courses enable you to study for a plumbing qualification on a flexible and cost-effective basis in your own time and in your own home. Distance learning opens up opportunities by dividing the course into modules that you work through at your own pace. These might include: • Health and safety. • Key plumbing principles. • Central heating systems. • Electricity. • Environmental awareness. Distance learning opens up the possibility of becoming a plumber without leaving your current job and studying around existing commitments. Open learning plumbing courses provide you with a personal tutor and access to a full student support network.
