BPEC Water Regulations

After successful completion of this 1 day course, (you will receive a home study pack that you will need to complete prior to attending), you will be able to apply to your local water company to be an 'approved contractor' for water regulations.  This means that you can self certify related plumbing work as maybe required by housing associations and councils.

During the BPEC Water Regulations Course your knowledge of the new Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 will be updated and assessed. On completion, plumbers will have up-to-date knowledge of this important legislation which is used to control the installation and use of water supply systems.

Upon enrolling on the course you’ll receive a training manual which consists of an introduction, 12 self-learning modules, glossary and CD-ROM.
