Wor­ried about your grades?

What­ev­er your results, we want to assure you that exten­u­at­ing cir­cum­stances will be con­sid­ered should you not have the grades indi­cat­ed above. 

We will review each appli­ca­tion on a case-by-case basis to ensure you get a place on the course most suit­able for you.

One of the ways we do this is through a very effec­tive ​‘6 weeks to suc­cess pro­gramme’ that oper­ates from the first day you start your course. This includes sup­port such as (but not lim­it­ed to):

• Allow­ing you to change cours­es if you change your mind in the first 6 weeks
• Mov­ing you between course lev­els if you are find­ing your cur­rent lev­el too easy / too hard
• One-to-one reviews with your aca­d­e­m­ic tutor to ensure you are pro­gress­ing and achiev­ing well

Our course enquiries and admis­sions team are avail­able remote­ly through­out this unprece­dent­ed peri­od. They can be con­tact­ed at enquiries@​stamford.​ac.​uk should you have any fur­ther questions.

You will be for­ma­tive­ly assessed on each unit through phase tests and assign­ments; how­ev­er, final assess­ment is through an on-line exam and prac­ti­cal assignment

You will require a uni­form con­sist­ing of steel toe capped boots and over­alls which can be pur­chased from our web­site. Dur­ing your inter­view you will also sit an online suit­abil­i­ty assess­ment. The result of this, plus your pre­vi­ous aca­d­e­m­ic achieve­ments and matu­ri­ty will deter­mine the lev­el of course you are offered.

On suc­cess­ful com­ple­tion of this course, you can progress to Con­struc­tion and Engi­neer­ing degrees at uni­ver­si­ty. You could also enter job roles such as a Bath­room Fit­ter or a Self-employed Plumber, or con­tin­ue to work towards careers as a Plumb­ing and Heat­ing, Drainage or Gas Engineer.

You will explore how to:

• Plan and design cen­tral heat­ing systems
• The prin­ci­ples and require­ments of envi­ron­men­tal tech­nol­o­gy systems
• Cold and hot water systems
• Domes­tic san­i­ta­tion sys­tem installation
