For CPD Points!
Calling all PIRB registered plumbers,
The PIRB wishes to grant plumbers the opportunity to accumulate CPD points through ‘The Plumber’s Voice’.
This will give plumbers the chance to write informative, engaging, and professional articles for the PIRB’s blog – which you can find by clicking on the following link.
This means that your article can be published on the PIRB’s website.
As this will eventually be for CPD points, there are a few things to take note of:
Requirements:
- Should you want to write an article for publication, the following requirements will be implemented:
- A minimum word count of 500 will be set in place (more than 500 words is also encouraged)

- Research and facts will be fact-checked
- Opinion pieces are welcome if it is substantiated with facts and data
- Writers must include references from SANS codes and trusted industry sources
- Articles will be checked and approved by the relevant parties involved
How can I submit my article?

CPD allocation:
CPD points for articles will be as follows:
