About the Program
In this the program, students develop proficiency in industry safety practices, plumbing tools and equipment, trade mathematics, blueprint interpretation, drainage, waste and vent (DWV) systems, water distribution, fixture installation, and residential water heater installation. Instruction emphasizes proper installation techniques, troubleshooting, and quality workmanship while reinforcing the importance of professionalism, communication, and jobsite readiness. The course is taught by Freeland Plumbing.
The program culminates in a comprehensive capstone project in which each student completes a full residential plumbing mock-up that includes a DWV system, water supply piping, plumbing fixtures, and a water heater. Students demonstrate their ability to plan, install, test, and troubleshoot a complete plumbing system using industry standards and inspection criteria.
Upon successful completion, students will leave with the technical knowledge, practical experience, and job readiness skills necessary to pursue employment in the plumbing industry.
Students start in October with foundational training in trade basics and jobsite safety. Industry-specific coursework begins in the second semester.
