<p>The Certificate of Achievement in Residential Plumbing program is also conducted in partnership with the Pipe Trades Training Center apprenticeship program. The apprenticeship program is five years in duration, requiring a minimum of 6,900 hours of on-the-job training. After 4 years of classroom instruction and paid work experience, students are recognized as journeypersons within the Pipe Trades industry, working to install and&nbsp;maintain waste lines, hot and cold water&nbsp;piping, and gas systems, including piping, accessories, fixtures, and appliances to single and multiple family dwellings as well as hotels and motels.
The apprenticeship program—which includes coursework, lab work, and on-the-job training—involves learning about the assessment, installation, maintenance, and repair of residential and hotel/motel pipe systems, effective and safe tool use, material applications, related mathematics and science, and storage. Students will learn to read blueprints, apply layout and install, as well as estimate and repair both supply and wastewater systems.</p>
