Pipefitting/Pipefitter and Sprinkler Fitter
Plumbing Technology/Plumber
Description:
The Plumbing & Pipe Trades Foundation (formerly Entry Level Training) program will give you the skills and theory you’ll need to enter plumbing, pipe fitting and steamfitting, sprinkler fitting or gas fitting at an initial entry level. You’ll focus on the first year apprentice competencies that are common to all of the piping trades, working through common core, occupational core and plumbing and pipe trades specialty modules. It is a full time program that is competency based with a flexible lecture schedule, so you’ll be able to learn at your own speed. Upon completion of the program, you’ll be ready to seek starting employment in plumbing and plumbing installation, or in the piping-related vocations. You’ll also be able to seek positions in other piping-related fields including irrigation, municipal services, solar systems installation or plumbing wholesale supply. Or you may choose to continue with a full apprenticeship.
Students that successfully complete the Plumbing and Pipe Trades ELT program and are able to obtain apprenticeships may be eligible for credit toward the first year of apprenticeship. Please consult with an Academic Advisor regarding further education or transfer opportunities possibly associated with this program.
