How you will learn

You'll learn through a mix of classroom sessions and practical work. Assessment for the NVQ Diploma is competence-based, meaning you'll be observed carrying out real plumbing and heating tasks. You'll also build a portfolio of evidence to demonstrate your skills. There may be written or online knowledge tests alongside the practical assessments. Your assessor will observe your work and sign off units as you complete them.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Scarborough TEC will confirm anything else you need before you start.
