About the course
What can I expect out of this qualification?
The purpose of this qualification is to provide the gasfitting sector with people who are suitably skilled as gasfitting tradespersons and ready to apply for registration as a licensed gasfitter under the Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006.
This qualification provides an entry into the gasfitting industry and is intended for candidates who are training in the workplace and who can fulfil the requirements of the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board Trainee Limited Certificate (TLC). Generally this is in conjunction with an apprenticeship.
This qualification allows the New Zealand community to recognise that graduates, once registered and licensed, are highly skilled and authorised to safely carry out all gasfitting work, with reduced risk of fire, explosion and poisoning.
Licensed gasfitters are qualified and licensed but must be supervised by a certifying person who is ultimately responsible for ensuring the work is done competently.
