Cert in Plumbing and Sheetmetal (Level 3)

The Certificate in Plumbing and Sheetmetal (Level 3) at Fiji National University gives students a basic technical grounding in plumbing and sheet metal work, preparing them for careers and eventual leadership roles in the trade. Delivered over two years for 90 credit points at the Samabula, Labasa and Ba campuses, the programme builds a solid grasp of the standards, codes and principles that govern plumbing and sheet metal work, supporting senior tradespeople and improving industry productivity. Units cover time management and planning, gas and arc welding, sheet metal theory and practice, craft science for construction, fire control services, sanitation and drainage, water heating services, cold water practice and theory, plumbing drawing, applied materials, trade calculation, occupational health and safety, communication and ethics. The qualification also lays a foundation for students wishing to pursue higher trade qualifications. Entry requires completion of Year 11 or a Level 2 Certificate from a Technical College of Fiji; mature applicants aged 17 or above without this progression may be admitted based on maturity, work experience or prior learning.
