Plumbing at Preston College

At Preston College we provided Level 1 and 2 qualifications in Plumbing. These will equip you with the skills and experience you need to transition into the workplace or an apprenticeship.

Level 1 is an ideal starting point for a career in the plumbing sector as you will develop a broad range of skills aiding your progression.

There is a combination of practical and theoretical elements covering essentials such as health and safety, pipework fabrication, installation and repair as well as plumbing science and technology.
