Clarrie Wymer Awards for Excellence
2018 Clarrie Wymer Awards
The Clarrie Wymer Award for Excellence in the Certificate III in Plumbing was first presented in 1988 to acknowledge the most outstanding MPAL apprentice each year from each apprenticeship stage and especially to commend the most outstanding 3rd year apprentice on completing their Plumbing Trade Course – the Clarrie Wymer Award.
Master Plumbers Apprentices Limited prides itself in the further education of plumbing apprentices who are the future of the plumbing industry. The Awards were established to encourage the pursuit of excellence amongst our MPAL Apprentices and to recognise and acknowledge the achievement of that excellence. In doing so, we perpetuate Clarrie Wymer.
These awards are judged internally by a panel of staff members who have known the apprentices during their on-the-job training as well as on their performance in the skills Centre. We also rely on feedback received from Host Trainers and Trainers etc.
