Product Description

Product Description
Assuming no prior knowledge of plumbing skills, Steve Muscroft provides step-by-step guidance towards developing the essential skills needed by anyone wishing to embark on a career in this industry. The reader is guided through each of the key areas and processes in the field of Plumbing, with additional emphasis on Health & Safety. The book fully covers the syllabus requirements for the Level 2 Technical Certificate and NVQ from City & Guilds, and readers will also find that topics essential to actual plumbing practice, not included as part of the Level 2 specifications, are introduced, such as gas fired boilers, service and maintenance aspects, and reference to the Water Regulations (1999). All material is fully in line with latest British Standards (BS 6700 and BS800). This breadth of coverage ensures this text will prove essential reading for apprentices, as well as a useful reference for practicing plumbers. The book is designed to maximise accessibility of the text for the reader. Activities feature per topic area covered, to allow application of theory into practical contexts, along with Test Yourself questions at the end of each chapter for use during college/centre training. These can also be compiled into the student reader's portfolio as evidence of learning. Each chapter concludes with a set of multiple choice questions, following the style of the City & Guilds knowledge assessment, enabling the student to revise the key concepts introduced in that chapter. These MCQs will also serve as essential preparation for the 6129 Technical Certificate exam. Model answers and answers to Activities are included for reference. Content is matched specifically to the latest plumbing qualifications from City & Guilds the 6129 Certificate in Basic Plumbing and 6089 NVQ at Level 2. It is written by the author of the "City & Guilds 6129 scheme". It is a brand new textbook resource with essential pedagogical features: activities, test yourself questions; MCQs; and model answers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even better than the JTL book, 30 Jun 2007
I am currently studying at a College where they use the JTL book as the core text. I bought Muscrofts 'Plumbing' as I've always found it useful to have more than just the one reference. Then if I dont understand one explanation I can try the other and see if that makes more sense.

Throughout this year I have referred to Muscrofts book time, and time again. Like its JTL rival it has a chapter on each of the subjects that are assessed in the technical certificate. But I found the descriptions and illustrations easier to understand, and the multiple choice questions at the end are a fantastic bonus, and really help you prepare for the tests. In fact, they are as good as those covered in the JTL's revision book, which you have to pay twenty odd pounds for.

I would highly recommend this text to anyone wanting to learn the basics of plumbing, which is not just hot and cold water, central heating etc, but also lead work and guttering. The only disappointment is that Muscroft has yet to produce a book aimed at Level 3.
