Foreword

Skills Development Project, funded by the Asian Development Bank aims atestablishing a competency based system within the Technical and VocationalTraining Sector.

One of the vital integral components in the competency based system is thecurriculum designed for a Competency Based Training (CBT).

A curriculum, in fact, is a plan for training and a competency based curriculum inparticular is a training plan aimed at developing a highly skilled work force toaddress the specific manpower requirements of the industry.

This curriculum developed for the occupation Plumber consists of 3 docu-ments, namely,

• Curriculum Outline• Learner’s Guide and• Trainer’s Guide

As competency based training approach is basically trainee-centered, theinstructional design of this curriculum is enriched with creations of activities thatfacilitate and enhance the learning process.

The curriculum, however, will have to be continuously reviewed and amendedas the technological developments provide significant changes in skills,knowledge and other requirements of the occupation.

The project wishes to express its sincere appreciation and gratitude to all thoseresource persons who have actively contributed to this exercise and also to theCBT Development Unit of the project for producing this valuable curricularmaterial.

Introduction

This is the steering document prepared for competency based training ofPlumbers. The main purpose of this is to give an overview of the content of thecurricula.

In addition to this document, there are two other documents; Trainer’s Guideand Learner’s Guide for the complete Competency Based Training Curricula.

The Learner’s Guide has been developed as a series of modules and the detailsof each module is also provided in one or more pages of this document.

The information given in respect of each module are:

• Tasks included in the module,

• Standards to be achieved in performing the tasks,

• Basic theoretical knowledge required to perform the tasks,

• Machinery, equipment, tools and the learning & teaching aids requiredto complete the module,

• Targeted time for completion of the module.

Further, this document would also provide an idea on the following:

• the number of modules prepared for the occupation,

• the total time duration of the training program, and

• whether it would be possible to conduct a competency based trainingprogram for this occupation in a particular centre.

Occupational Outlook

A plumber should be able to perform the following tasks with special competency.

• Plan domestic water supply lines and preparation of required raw ma-terial according to plan

• Knowledge about valves, common sanitation fittings, bathroom fit-tings and drainage fittings

• Proper laying of domestic pipelines and drainage pipeline systemsaccording to plan and proper fixing of fittings

• Laying metal and non-metal pipelines• Knowledge about fixing water pumps and pumping systems

Demand for this occupation

Today there is a great demand for this occupation both locally and abroad inthe field of construction. Plumbers who have reached a competency level havea very important role to play in the construction field. Hence qualified plumbershave immense job opportunities abroad. In future there will be a special demandfor plumbers who get qualified in competency based training.
