Course Overview

What is this course

The ProQual Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Testing, Inspecting and Thorough Examination Occupations: Leak Detection in Waterproof Systems is a UK-accredited, competence-based qualification regulated by Ofqual. It is designed for professionals involved in identifying, testing, and assessing leaks in waterproofing systems across construction and civil engineering projects, ensuring buildings remain safe, durable, and watertight.

This qualification develops practical skills in planning and carrying out leak detection tests such as flood testing, electronic leak detection (ELD), and air pressure testing. Learners also gain the ability to identify defects in waterproof membranes, roofing systems, basements, tunnels, and below-ground structures, interpret test results, produce detailed inspection reports, and recommend suitable remedial actions to maintain structural integrity.

The course is aligned with key UK industry expectations and regulatory frameworks, including the Building Act 1984 and the Building Safety Act 2022, which support safe construction practices and building performance standards. It also reflects recognised technical guidance such as BS 8102:2022 for waterproofing below-ground structures and industry-tested protocols like ELD and flood testing standards. This qualification is widely respected across the UK construction and waterproofing sector for ensuring high-quality inspection and compliance practices.
