Hey all.

Im currently doing my NVQ2 at college and working on site with my family plumbing business. I have been looking in to registration requirements for the likes of CORGI etc and have joined the IPHE The Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering as a trainee plumber.

Just a note of interest for those unable to get a college placement or wishing to do an intensive course, the IPHE only recognise plumbers with an NVQ2 qualification or higher apart from those who have trained with OLCI.

hope this helps people in deciding what course is right and whether they think registration is necessary.

so the IPHE recognises the OCLI as the best course, Ive been looking into doing a course and OCLI seemed the best. Is it??

I think what they are saying is the if you trained at OLCI, then you will not be able to register with the IPHE.

I think i'm right in saying that as long as you've got an NVQ 2 or above in plumbing then you can register It doesn't matter where you do it or how much you pay to do it as long as you can.
