 Regional Competition Details The regional competitions are a one day event at which competitors from FE colleges in the entire region are taking part.

This will allow the tutor to discuss the drawing with the apprentice prior to attendance at the regional competition. JUDGES The competitors' work will be judged by representatives from the various organisations that are sponsoring BPEC Plumbing Skills, as well as tutors from the college that is hosting the regional competition. The judges will be using the same marking scheme for all regional competitions. CLOTHING The regional competitors must wear appropriate work wear, including safety boots. BPEC will supply each competitor with a competition T-shirt to work in. For the Sheet Leadwork competitors we will supply barrier cream. If anybody prefers to use gloves, they need to bring their own. TOOL REQUIREMENTS Here is a typical list of tools that the regional competitors need to bring along to the competition.
