BPEC Water Regulations

This course is for anyone requiring an understanding of the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, specifically those wishing to become approved plumbers/contractors. They can then issue a completion certificate or undertake installations that require notification but can self-certificate.

Trainees will need to have some knowledge of the plumbing and water industry, either in the form of a Level 2 or craft certificate or a number of years in the industry with a letter from an approved employer.

A pre-course study pack will be sent out 14 days prior to the course commencing, which applicants should complete before attending the course.

This study pack will be marked, and any applicant who has not completed it will be required to carry out additional training before being allowed on the course.

The course runs over one full day and one evening.

There is an intense training course (which usually takes place on a Friday), which covers the following:

Materials

Design and installation

Prevention of Cross Contamination

Backflow Prevention

Cold Water

Hot Water

WCs, Baths, Basins, Sinks and Showers

After this, there is an assessment which usually takes place on the Monday evening of the following week.

There are two knowledge assessments which are open book and multiple-choice based upon modules covered in the training manual

Upon successful completion of the assessment candidates will gain the BPEC Water Regulations certificate and Competency Card.

Candidates who complete and are awarded with the competency certificate and card, will then meet the eligibility criteria to undertake Hot Water Storage systems.
