Everyone is very excited to develop a lengthy relationship with BPEC in the delivery of the Plumbing qualifications. The resources are first class, with the unit/assignment paperwork being of the highest quality and clearly shows that the consultations with centres has been used to create straight forward and concise documents that add a quality feel to the delivery and recording of information, both in centre and on-site.

We do hope to fully transfer all our new candidates to the BPEC approved scheme in the near future at both Level 2 and 3. This is an extremely exciting time to be involved in the delivery of the BPEC Diploma in Plumbing and Heating and here at Tameside College all the staff involved are very proud that we are the first in the country to register a group of Apprentices on the qualification.”
