The pods allow apprentices to work on realistic projects in a safe and controlled environment during their plumbing training. For example:

• The cistern pod shows how pipework is connected and helps apprentices understand plumbing systems.

• The sanitary pod teaches how to install plumbing for bathrooms in homes and businesses.

• The fire hose hydrant pod demonstrates how to assemble and test hydrants using different materials.

The training pods are flexible and can be set up to teach tasks for indoor and outdoor projects, above or below ground and across all types of plumbing work. Multiple pods can also be used at the same time, giving apprentices the chance to work on different skills as part of a team. The pods can also be customised to suit specific building and construction tasks and jobs.

Our training pods are great for apprentices and their employers. By practising real tasks in different ways during their training, apprentices are better prepared for work on actual construction jobs and projects. 

This saves employers time and money while helping to address skill shortages in the plumbing industry. The pods are also a highly effective way to train up apprentices for fit outs on large scale civil infrastructure and residential housing projects.

Apprentices also learn about prefabrication, an important part of modern plumbing where sections of pipework are built off site and then installed. 

Apprentices who have used the pods love how practical and easy they are to understand. Many say the pods make it easier to learn tasks they will need on site, like connecting pipes or installing systems.

The pods also help build confidence. By practising in a realistic setting, apprentices feel more prepared when they start working on real jobs.

Our plumbing pods are helping apprentices build the skills they need and gain the confidence required to join a dynamic workforce. Through training like this, apprentices can graduate ready to take on a range of projects in the plumbing and construction industries.
