Plumbing and Pipefitting

Program Overview

Fast track your career in the skilled trades with Southeast College’s 16-week applied certificate program. Plumbers install, replace and maintain water and sewage systems in residential, commercial and industrial buildings. Many are also licensed gas fitters.

The Plumbing and Pipefitting program provides the knowledge and skills you need for an entry level job. Your learning is practical and hands-on – and includes a two-week job placement that lets you test your skills in the real world.

Plumbing is a skilled trade. The more education and experience you get, the higher you can climb on the wage-earning ladder. A fourth-year journeyperson plumber can earn double the hourly wage of a first-year plumbing apprentice.

Applied certificate programs can give you a head-start on apprenticeship. To learn how to apply academic credit toward Level 1 of the Plumber apprenticeship program, contact the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission (SATCC).

Course includes one week of safety training. Exact safety training courses and dates will be announced closer to program start.

Southeast College continues to offer many of its programs in a blended delivery format (a complimentary mix of both virtual and in class instruction). Students will need to have access to a computer and internet.  Please contact us at 1-866-999-7372 for more information
