Mark Krull from LCL Awards said: 'We are delighted to offer Level 2 plumbing qualifications for the first time. Plumbing is a popular route of entry into the building services sector, offering great potential for new entrants looking for a rewarding career with the option of advancement and expansion into related sectors in the future, including gas engineering, oil engineering and renewable technologies.
'These new qualifications will allow LCL Awards centres to deliver training that is tailored to candidate's circumstances and experience, removing barriers to qualification and providing an alternative to plumbing apprenticeships that provides a thorough knowledge of plumbing theory and practice.'
