BPEC LEVEL 3 DIPLOMA IN PLUMBING AND DOMESTIC HEATING
This new BPEC qualification is now available for registration. Alongside the qualification, we have developed supporting resources which will be available to download free of charge as part of our registration and certification fees. Our new phase 1 textbook, with content aligned to our free resources and which was developed alongside the qualification, has been written exclusively for BPEC by Mike Maskrey. The book offers specific guidance and tutor support throughout the programme and includes assessment criteria and learning outcomes for each unit. The textbook can be purchased online or by calling Yasmin or Katie on 01332 376000.
To give staff from colleges and training centres an opportunity to come along and meet our team (pictured above, from left to right: Mike Maskrey, Martin Parker, Paul Wilson, Kev Clark, Garry Glover, Jon Bexon), and to learn more about this new qualification, we recently hosted two Open Events at our Derby office. During the events the team provided an overview of our new qualification which included a presentation of the supporting materials and textbook which were available for the attendees to take a look at. The team were also on hand to answer any questions and provide further guidance.
If you were unable to come along to the events, then don't worry. You can contact our AO Team on 01332 376000 or by email, and they will be able to provide you with further details about the qualification and our bespoke supporting materials. The team may also be able to arrange to come and visit you at your training centre or college.
Whether you’re already an approved BPEC Centre or not, if you need to know anything further about this qualification, or if you are a college or training centre interested in gaining delivery approval, then please contact the AO Team via email, or call on 01332 376000. We look forward to hearing from you!
