Free Water Regulations Training Offer for SNIPEF Members in Northern Ireland

**UPDATE: This training on 22 April has been postponed due to the Coronavirus situation.

Members of SNIPEF in Northern Ireland can access FREE Water Regulations training for their employees on 22 April 2020 in Antrim thanks to funding provided by Northern Ireland Water.

Membership of SNIPEF and a water fittings regulations certificate will allow eligible plumbing businesses to sign up to WaterSafe, the national register of approved plumbers, at no extra cost.

The WRAS water regulations course normally costs £127 per person plus VAT, but it will be provided to SNIPEF members free of charge if the assessment is passed and used to join WaterSafe.
