Yes and no.

The 6129 is just the technical aspect. You do not have to do this certificate to achieve the NVQ 2. This is seperate.

If you can learn the trade from a plumber you can then just undertake the NVQ l2 with the oicl, as all the NVQ 2 consists of is you doing your work whilst a assessor visists you and verifies your work.

People do the 6129 cert because they find it extremely difficuilt to find a good plumber to take them on.

The plumber that you work with / learn from must be time served and have 5 years of books to prove this.

If he fits the critearia he can sign off your modules for your NVQ 2 for you. This and a few assessor visits will complete your Nvq 2.

Hope this helps.
