1. COURSE INFORMATION

During the one-year duration a candidate of Plumber trade is trained on subjects

Professional Skill, Professional Knowledge, and Employability Skills related to job role. In addition
to this a candidate is entrusted to make/do project work and Extra Curricular Activities to build
up confidence. The practical skills are imparted in simple to complex manner & simultaneously
theory subject is taught in the same fashion to apply cognitive knowledge while executing task.
The practical part starts with basic pipe work viz. cutting of pipes, threading, joining, etc. and
finally to fitting, fixing and laying of hot & cold water pipe line, repairing and reconditioning of
waste pipe line at the end of the course. The broad components covered under Professional Skill
subject are as below:

The practical part starts with basic fitting in the beginning and the candidate imparted
training on allied trades viz., carpenter, Welding (Gas & Arc), Masonry which leads to multi-
skilling. In the basic fitting the skills imparted are marking, sawing, chipping, filing, measurement,
soldering, brazing, drilling, grinding and observation of all safety aspects is mandatory. The
accuracy achieved is of±0.25 mm. The safety aspects cover components like OSH&E, PPE, Fire
extinguisher, First Aid etc. Cutting Pipes in different angle. Joining of pipes of different diameter
and angles by gas welding, thread cutting on different types of pipes & fittings accessories.
Making of brick wall and RCC casting. Brick wall cutting for concealing pipe line. Bending of Pipes,
making of pipe line circuit for water distribution, fixing Cocks & valve, Water analysis test, Water
Pressure test are being taught. Alignment and laying of humid pipeline & maintenance of
drainage pipe line. Installation and maintenance of Electric pumps, Construction of inspection
chamber, manhole, gutter, septic tank, socket etc. Testing of drainage pipe, Removal of leakage
pipe line, Installation, fixing & maintenance of valve & cock, water meter, Fixtures, hot & cold
water pipe line, Repairing & reconditioning of waste pipe line, Repairing & reconditioning,
scraping & painting of sanitary fittings are being taught in the practical.

Professional Knowledge subject is simultaneously taught in the same fashion to apply

cognitive knowledge while executing task. In addition, components like Physical properties of
engineering materials, different types of iron, properties and uses, Heat & Temperature are also
covered under theory part.

Total three projects need to be completed by the candidates in a group. In addition to

above components the core skills components viz., employability skills are also covered. These

2. TRAINING SYSTEM

2.1 GENERAL

Directorate General of Training (DGT) under Ministry of Skill Development &

Entrepreneurship offers range of vocational training courses catering to the need of different
sectors of economy/ Labour market. The vocational training programmes are delivered under
aegis of Directorate General of Training (DGT). Craftsman Training Scheme (CTS) with variantsand
Apprenticeship Training Scheme (ATS) are two pioneer programmes of DGT for propagating
vocational training.

Plumber trade under CTS is one of the popular courses delivered nationwide through
network of ITIs. The course is of one year duration. It mainly consists of Domain area and Core
area. The Domain area (Trade Theory & Practical) imparts professional - skills and knowledge,
while Core area (Employability Skills) imparts requisite core skills, knowledge and life skills. After
passing out of the training program, the trainee is awarded National Trade Certificate (NTC) by
DGT which is recognized worldwide.

Broadly candidates need to demonstrate that they are able to:

 Read & interpret technical parameters/document, plan and organize work processes,
identify necessary materials and tools;
 Perform task with due consideration to safety rules, accident prevention regulations and
environmental protection stipulations;
 Apply professional skill, knowledge, core skills & employability skills while performing
jobs.
 Check the job/assembly as per drawing for functioning, identify and rectify errors in
job/assembly.
 Document the technical parameters related to the task undertaken.

2.2 PROGRESSION PATHWAYS

 Can join industry as Technician and will progress further as Senior Technician, Supervisor
and can rise up to the level of Manager.
 Can become Entrepreneur in the related field.
 Can take admission in diploma course in notified branches of Engineering by lateral entry.
 Can join Apprenticeship programme in different types of industries leading to National
Apprenticeship certificate (NAC).

Trainees of one-year or two-year trade can also opt for optional courses of up to 240 hours in
each year for 10th/ 12th class certificate along with ITI certification, or, add on short term
courses.

2.4 ASSESSMENT & CERTIFICATION

The trainee will be tested for his skill, knowledge and attitude during the period of course
through formative assessment and at the end of the training programme through summative
assessment as notified by the DGT from time to time.

a) The Continuous Assessment (Internal) during the period of training will be done by Formative
assessment method by testing for assessment criteria listed against learning outcomes. The
training institute have to maintain individual trainee portfolio as detailed in assessment
guideline. The marks of internal assessment will be as per the formative assessment template
provided on www.bharatskills.gov.in

b) The final assessment will be in the form of summative assessment. The All India Trade Test for
awarding NTC will be conducted by Controller of examinations, DGT as per the guidelines. The
pattern and marking structure is being notified by DGT from time to time. The learning outcome
and assessment criteria will be the basis for setting question papers for final assessment. The
examiner during final examination will also check the individual trainee’s profile as detailed in
assessment guideline before giving marks for practical examination.

2.4.1 PASS REGULATION

For the purposes of determining the overall result, weightage of 100% is applied for six
months and one year duration courses and 50% weightage is applied to each examination for
two years courses. The minimum pass percent for Trade Practical and Formative assessment is
60% & for all other subjects is 33%.

2.4.2 ASSESSMENT GUIDELINE

Appropriate arrangements should be made to ensure that there will be no artificial
barriers to assessment. The nature of special needs should be taken into account while
undertaking the assessment. Due consideration should be given while assessing for teamwork,
avoidance/reduction of scrap/wastage and disposal of scrap/waste as per procedure, behavioral
attitude, sensitivity to the environment and regularity in training. The sensitivity towards OSHE
and self-learning attitude are to be considered while assessing competency.

Assessment will be evidence based comprising some of the following:

 Job carried out in labs/workshop

 Record book/ daily diary
 Answer sheet of assessment
 Viva-voce
 Progress chart
 Attendance and punctuality
 Assignment
 Project work
 Computer based multiple choice question examination
 Practical Examination

Evidences and records of internal (Formative) assessments are to be preserved until
