Inside track on student life at the BTSC Chessington.

Module Revision

Okay, if you have signed up to the college you will need a head start on what to revise. I will give you the framework but you must do the work! I will not post all of the modules here but just enough to give you a good head start. I hope this helps.

The first test you must pass before you even start your course modules is the Health and Safety exam.

Please note: My suggestions here are only with regards to the book revision. In addition, if you are already attending the college, the book revision does NOT supplement your paying attention in class and taking notes. You must also add to my suggestions BTSC TCM revision as well. If you are not attending the college courses yet, at least you have a heads up on what you will be covering before you get there!

Also, there is some different information on the same topics in all of the books.  I use the two (JTL and John Thompson) in my revision to get a well rounded understanding of the information.

Health and Safety Exams

My personal suggestions for revision on the Health and Safety exam is:

Plumbing NVQ and Technical Certificate: Level 2 by JTL

Chapter 1, 2, 3

Plumbing Revision Guide by John Thompson

Chapter 1, 2

Safe Start by CITB

Module 1

You will be covering pipe bending, soldiering, fittings, etc. The very basics of plumbing. You will still cover a large portion of Health and Safety over again in this module.

My suggestions to get a heads up on module one is to revise the following:

Plumbing NVQ and Technical Certificate: Level 2 by JTL

Chapter 1, 2, 3

Plumbing Revision Guide by John Thompson

Chapter 1, 2

(Most new information will be in your notes and BTSC TCM)

Module 2

You will be covering Cold Water Supply in this module. Get a head start reading up on anything to do with cold water systems, storage and circulation.

Plumbing NVQ and Technical Certificate: Level 2 by JTL

Chapter 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11

Plumbing Revision Guide by John Thompson

Chapter 3, 4, 5, 8, 9

Module 3

This is a very important Module.  You will be covering everything to do with Hot Water and Hot water systems.  I suggest even revising and refreshing some of the Module 2 information on cold water storage cisterns as well.
