Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS)
Certificate
(Distance
Learning and 1 day training and exams)
On 1st July 1999 local Water Byelaws
in England and Wales were replaced by the Water Supply
(Water Fittings) Regulations 1999.
This learning package will help plumbers update their
knowledge of this important legislation which is used to
control the installation and use of water supply
systems. The WRAS package will help you to implement
Water Regulations competently. This is applicable not
only in new installation work, but also to ensure you
are able to identify and rectify contraventions that you
come across in existing water supply systems.
It is aimed at practicing plumbers who already have
knowledge of hot and cold water systems. But is also an
essential tool for those who are involved with the
installation, design, or specification of water systems
or with buildings containing water systems.

Construction Skills Certificate
Scheme
A
Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) card is
the easy way to prove that you are competent in your
occupation and have health and safety awareness. And as
it is the size of a credit card with your photo and
unique reference number on it is easy to slip into your
wallet to use as instant identification when you arrive
on site.
So why CSCS
CSCS has been in existence for over 10 years. It was
started to help the construction industry get quality
up, accidents down and cowboy builders out. These are
still the scheme's main objectives.
So why choose CSCS
CSCS is fast becoming the industry standard. It is
supported by organisations such as the Major Contractors
Group (MCG), National Contractors Federation (NCF),
Major Home Builders Group (MHBG) and Civil Engineering
Contractors Association (CECA) all of whom are committed
to a fully qualified workforce by the end of 2010.
Now major clients are also requesting that their
contractors have a CSCS carded workforce. These include
government, housing associations, NHS projects and
private clients such as BAA.
