BPEC has announced that its SkillPLUMB competition is back for 2022.
Registration is open until 1st April 2022 for trainee plumbers of all ages.
Entries can be made by colleges, training providers or employers via the WSUK website www.worldskillsuk.org.
The SkillPLUMB competition enables talented young plumbers to test their expertise in a series of challenging practical tests in a bid to be named SkillPLUMB UK Champion.
New for 2022 is the passive stage, to take place during April, where all candidates will complete an initial plumbing task at their local training centre or college.
Once completed, selected candidates will be invited to take part in a regional heat. Throughout May and June, several regional events are then being held across the UK.
Competitors must perform plumbing skills at the standard set in the plumbing qualifications at Level 2/3, and required to complete a task with all these skills in a time of 4 hours.
“We’re delighted to announce that the SkillPLUMB competition is back at last – it will be amazing to see plumbing competitors back in action this year, and to welcome Monument Tools as our lead sponsor,” said Neil Collishaw, BPEC chief executive officer. “We would like to thank Monument and all of our other sponsors for their invaluable support for this fantastic competition.”
