Plumber Qualifications Query

by acctofquestioniness » Tue Jan 24, 2023 2:22 pm

Hi. I have an elderly neighbour getting quotes who has asked for my help and opinion, I don't really have a good one as it is not my area of expertise but I am trying to help.

The quotes are all similar prices but She seemed to like one person and quote more than the others and I noticed that was the only one with qualifications listed on the quote, so I googled them a bit but there are lots of plumbing qualifications. I wondered if I list them here anyone familiar can advise if they are real or not please as I don't want her to make a bad choice.



City & Guilds Lvl 1&2 Domestic Plumbing and Heating (when searching this I can see the official website with NVQs up to Lvl3 so I guess they are up to an NVQ Lvl2?)

City & Guilds Bathroom Design & Installation (when searching this it just brings back the same official website search results as the Lvl 1&2 Domestic Plumbing and Heating. Maybe it was separate before but is now part of the 1&2 I'm not sure?)

BTEC water Regulations (when searching this I couldn't find a BTEC, but I could find a BPEC organisation. Are they the same and changed names if anyone knows?)

BTEC Unvented Heating Systems (when searching this I couldn't find a BTEC, but I could find a BPEC organisation. Are they the same and changed names if anyone knows?)



Thankyou. Hope it is ok to ask here and someone is able to advise
