Plumbing course in the Netherlands
At INT Services in Vlaardingen, we offer a plumbing course in the Russian language. Our vocational training program aims to train plumbers to install, repair, and maintain plumbing and gas boilers (CV Boilers) in the Netherlands. Our courses are suitable for Russian speakers who wish to work in the Netherlands.
Learn about NEN during our plumbing course
The abbreviation NEN stands for Dutch Norm. These standards are agreements that market parties voluntarily make with each other about the quality and safety of their products, services, and processes. According to Dutch legislation, sanitary facilities, as well as the related work, must comply with safety standards. During the plumbing course, we will introduce you to the following standards:
- NEN 1006 – Sanitary standards and pipe safety
- NEN 3215 – Sanitary installation rules and requirements for drainage installations
- NTR 3216 – Practice guidelines and interpretation for NEN 3215
- NEN 1078 – Standards and rules for the safety of gas installations
- NTR 3378 – Practice guidelines and interpretation for NEN 1078
The plumbing course takes place in Russian, but at the same time, we teach you technical terminology in Dutch and English.
