plumber training program are required to be employed by a registered
plumbing contractor prior to entering into formal plumber training.

training college for a period of sixteen weeks or more, where he will be
required to pass twenty three unit standards in order for him to obtain
the necessary credits for his qualification.
Learners in the program should note that on top of the
practical plumber training, they will receive at the training college, the
learner will be required to complete 24 months training on site under the
supervision of his employers qualified plumber, before submitting his
practical training credits, and the learners log book to the training
provider for verification.
The training provider will then forward the learners
completed documents to the CETA together with the employers log book,
which shall include all site assessments of the learners competency levels
during the training period.

will then register the learnership as being complete and issue the learner
with a National Certificate in Construction Plumbing at NQF Level 3, that
certifies that he can trade as a qualified plumber.
