About the self-study course modules

All Learn Plumbing’s courses are well-written, up-to-date, and cover the subject. They are easy to read and comprehensively illustrated with lots of diagrams. They contain information that enables a systematic and methodical approach to facilitate efficient working too. They all contain a set of summary multi-choice questions and exercises for you to complete. Tutor support by email or telephone is available to students enrolled on courses and feedback is also provided. A personalised Record of Achievement is sent to all people who successfully complete their modules and courses.

Student feedback

Analysis of student feedback questionnaires proves that students find the study modules easy to read and understand. Students also feel that the study modules are both interesting, as well as relevant to the subject and cover it comprehensively too.

Perhaps most importantly, students agree that the study modules have helped them in their plumbing work. They regularly ‘come-back-for-more’ too, as their career progresses and their need for further knowledge grows. Students also feel that the summary questions are easy to understand, and at about the right level of difficulty as far as answering is concerned to give a fair test of their knowledge!
