BPEC invests £15,000 to modernise Scotland’s Plumbing and Heating Apprenticeship
BPEC, the not-for-profit body supporting training and skills development across the UK plumbing and heating profession, is investing £15,000 to support the recently completed revision of the National Occupational Standards (NOS) for plumbing and heating, and to help take forward the ongoing work on the Framework and Assessment Strategy for the Scottish Plumbing and Heating Apprenticeship.
This investment will support work led by the Scottish and Northern Ireland Plumbing Employers’ Federation (SNIPEF), in collaboration with employers, apprentices, training providers, Skills Development Scotland, SQA Awarding, SQA Accreditation and wider industry stakeholders, to ensure Scotland’s plumbing and heating apprenticeship remains modern, credible and fit for future purpose.
Neil Collishaw, Chief Executive of BPEC, said: “BPEC’s charitable mission is to raise the knowledge and skills of the UK plumbing and heating workforce, and this investment directly reflects that purpose on multiple fronts. Supporting SNIPEF in this work will help ensure apprenticeships and standards remain the bedrock of our profession, as well as giving employers confidence, apprentices opportunity and consumers the assurance of high quality work.”
