Common questions
Before you enrol
Do I have to attend a college or training centre?
No. The qualification is delivered entirely through workplace assessment. Your assessor gathers evidence from the work you already do — observations, photos, videos, testing records and professional discussions — so there are no classroom sessions and no written exams.
Do I need any qualifications to start?
There are no formal academic entry requirements. You should be aged 16 or over, already working in pipework installation or mechanical services, and able to produce evidence from ongoing construction or engineering projects.
How long does it take?
Typical completion is around 12 weeks. The pace is set by how quickly evidence is gathered from your projects, and a fast-track route is available at checkout (+£200) if you need to complete sooner.
Does this get me the Gold CSCS Card?
Successfully completing the Level 3 Diploma supports eligibility for the Gold CSCS Advanced Craft Card, subject to meeting current CSCS application requirements. Once your diploma is awarded, you pass the CITB Health, Safety & Environment test and apply to CSCS — we’ll point you through both steps.
How does the 50/50 payment work?
