WBBSE Madhyamik Vocational Plumbing study plan
WBBSE Madhyamik Vocational Plumbing · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
Plumbing Materials, Pipes, Fittings, and Joints & Introduction to Plumbing Trade, Tools, and Safety
Classify GI, CI, PVC, CPVC, and PPR pipes by composition, pressure rating, and typical use, and record the classification in a comparison table
Identify at least 15 plumbing hand tools and pipe-fitting tools by correct Bengali and English names and state one safe-use rule for each
Demonstrate the correct procedure for cutting and threading a GI pipe, including reamer use and thread dope application
List the personal protective equipment required for threading, soldering, and trench work, and explain the hazard each item controls
Your checkpoint
A handwritten tool-and-material reference booklet of at least 10 pages containing the pipe comparison table, labelled tool sketches, and a PPE checklist
Plumbing Materials, Pipes, Fittings, and Joints & Water Supply Systems and Sanitary Fixtures
Make one solvent-welded PVC joint and one threaded GI joint, then pressure-test both and record the result
Distinguish elbows, tees, reducers, couplings, unions, and bends by function and select the correct fitting for four given layout situations
Identify the parts of a direct and an indirect (overhead tank) water supply system and trace the flow from source to tap
Compare storage tank placement, distribution pipe sizing, and air-gap requirements for a two-storey house
Your checkpoint
A joint-sample board with two labelled, tested joints plus a one-page flow diagram of an indirect water supply system for a two-storey house
Sanitary Drainage, Sewerage, and Ventilation & Water Supply Systems and Sanitary Fixtures
Explain the working principle of a water-seal trap and distinguish P-trap, S-trap, and bottle trap by where each may legally be installed
Differentiate one-pipe, two-pipe, and single-stack drainage systems and state where each is used
Describe the purpose of soil pipe, waste pipe, vent pipe, and anti-siphonage pipe, and sketch a vented branch
Explain the roles of inspection chamber, gully trap, and manhole in a house drainage line
Identify the main parts of a WC, wash basin, and kitchen sink and state the correct fixing height for each
Your checkpoint
A labelled sectional sketch of a house drainage and ventilation layout showing traps, vent pipe, inspection chamber, and gully trap, with a 200-word explanatory note
Sanitary Drainage, Sewerage, and Ventilation & Practical Workshop and Project Work
Calculate the correct drain pipe gradient for a given run and explain why self-cleansing velocity matters
Assemble a small mock drainage line with one trap, one junction, and one inspection chamber, and verify fall with a spirit level
Test the assembled line for leakage and record any defect found
Explain the health and environmental risks of a blocked drain and the safe procedure for clearing it
Your checkpoint
A completed and leak-tested mock drainage assembly, photographed with a spirit-level gradient reading and a short defect-and-fix note
Plumbing Drawing, Estimation, and Costing & Plumbing Materials, Pipes, Fittings, and Joints
Read a simple plumbing plan and identify pipe routes, fixture positions, and symbols from the drawing
Prepare a single-line isometric sketch of a bathroom water supply and drainage layout
Measure pipe lengths and count fittings from your own sketch and prepare a quantity table
Calculate material cost and labour cost for that layout and prepare a simple abstract of cost
Your checkpoint
A hand-drawn bathroom plumbing layout with a matching quantity-and-cost estimate sheet, totalled and signed off
Maintenance, Repair, and Leak Detection & Practical Workshop and Project Work
List at least eight common plumbing faults, their visible symptoms, and the correct repair method for each
Demonstrate leak detection on a concealed pipe using visual inspection, pressure testing, and listening methods
Repair a leaking threaded joint and a leaking tap washer, and verify the repair under pressure
Explain a preventive maintenance schedule for a household water supply and drainage system
Your checkpoint
A fault-diagnosis chart of at least eight faults plus a written record of two completed repairs with before-and-after observations
Employability Skills and Entrepreneurship & Introduction to Plumbing Trade, Tools, and Safety
Write a short CV and a covering note for a plumbing apprenticeship or helper job
Explain workplace rights, wages, safety duties, and grievance procedures relevant to a plumbing worker
Prepare a basic business plan for a small plumbing service, covering tools, capital, pricing, and customer acquisition
Practise answering customer queries and explaining a repair cost estimate clearly
Your checkpoint
A one-page CV plus a one-page small plumbing business plan with a simple cost-and-income projection
Practical Workshop and Project Work & Plumbing Drawing, Estimation, and Costing & Maintenance, Repair, and Leak Detection
Complete a full mock project: install a tap, a wash basin, and a short drainage run, and test the whole installation
Revise all eight domains using your own notes and solve at least two practice questions per domain
Re-attempt every earlier deliverable that was incomplete or inaccurate and correct it
Time yourself on a full-length mock paper and review every wrong answer
Your checkpoint
A complete tested mock installation plus a corrected portfolio of all eight weeks' deliverables and a scored mock-test review sheet
Milestones
Week 2: You can name and safely use the core hand tools, correctly identify five pipe materials, and make a leak-free PVC and GI joint without guidance
Week 4: You can explain trap function and vent requirements, and your mock drainage assembly passes a leak test with correct gradient
Week 6: You can produce a costed estimate from your own drawing and diagnose and repair the eight common faults on your chart
Week 8: You complete a tested mock installation, score at least 60 percent on the timed mock paper, and hold a corrected portfolio of all eight deliverables
