How To Start Plumbing Training

Compare apprenticeships and schools, then apply and begin OJT.

  1. Research plumbing apprenticeships

    Map UA locals, PHCC chapters, and college programs that meet state licensing rules.

  2. Compare union and open-shop routes

    Review wages, pension, service vs new construction, and how hours are credited.

  3. Visit training programs

    Tour wet labs, ask about code classes, and confirm tool and PPE requirements.

  4. Begin hands-on pipe work

    Start layout, threading, and drain installs with a licensed plumber overseeing your work.
