Summary
This programme provides students with a good foundation of hands-on skills and theoretical knowledge of the plumbing, gasfitting and drainlaying industry.
Upon completion of this programme, students will be work ready and equipped with the confidence and knowledge valued by employers when selecting new apprentices.
Career/further opportunities
Graduates of the Plumbing, Gasfitting and Drainlaying Level 3 programme will be able to work in areas such as plumbing, gasfitting or drainlaying wholesaling, or retailing as a counter salesperson.
Graduates may also be able to enter employment in trades within the plumbing, gasfitting or drainlaying industries as an apprentice. The programme does not enable graduates to practice as a plumber, gasfitter or drainlayer; graduates will not be eligible to seek licensing.
The programme provides one of two entry pathways into the plumbing, gasfitting or drainlaying industries and is intended for candidates who do not have an apprenticeship agreement in any of those trades. It provides trainees with an opportunity to progress to a fully credentialed tradesperson level with further study.
The second entry pathway is through an apprenticeship agreement where candidates will be signed directly into a Level 4 plumbing, gasfitting or drainlaying New Zealand Certificate. The Plumbing, Gasfitting and Drainlaying Level 3 programme is not a pre-requisite for the Level 4 New Zealand Certificates, however some credits gained in the Level 3 programme will contribute towards the higher-level qualifications.
