Blue JIB Card - Plumber

What is a Blue (Plumber) JIB Card?

The Blue (Plumber) JIB card is intended for fully qualified operatives who have the training, Health and Safety classes and experience necessary to work as a plumber on a construction site or other carded area.

What qualifications will I need?

To gain a Blue (Plumber) JIB Card certification, you’ll need to have achieved a Level 2 NVQ of a plumbing-related type, or a plumbing-related City and Guilds certificate.

Accepted qualifications include (but are not limited to):

  • BPEC NVQ Plumbing & Heating

  • EAL NVQ in Mechanical Engineering Services (Plumbing)

  • EAL NVQ Plumbing & Heating

  • Mechanical Engineering Serv. Plumbing (Oil) (6024)

  • Mechanical Engineering Services – Plumbing (6009)

  • Mechanical Engineering Services – Plumbing (6019)

  • Mechanical Engineering Services – Plumbing (6089)

  • Mechanical Engineering Services (Plumbing) (6004)

Or

  • British Shipbuilders Certificate of Apprenticeship in Plumbing

Note: Level 1 qualifications and Level 2 vocationally related qualifications (e.g. C&G 6129 or 6035 qualifications) are not acceptable for this card.

If you have completed the Level 2 Plumbing Technical Certificate/Diploma (City & Guilds 6129/6035 or BPEC/EAL equivalent qualifications) and are not continuing your studies to the BPEC, EAL or City & Guilds Level 2/3 NVQ/SVQ Diplomas, the only card you will be eligible to apply for is the Labourer card.

How long is the card valid?

The Blue (Plumbing) JIB Card is valid for five years and can be renewed.

What is the next step?

Those operatives who wish to move on from their Blue (Plumbing) JIB card will want to seek their Gold (Plumbing) JIB card.
