BUILD A CAREER THAT ALWAYS HAS WORK

PLUMBING TECHNICIAN

Plumbing is a trade in constant demand — fixtures fail, new builds need rough-in, and water heaters quit on Friday nights. Montana and Idaho communities keep needing entry-level plumber helpers and apprentices who show up with safety credentials and fundamental pipe, fixture, and system skills.

This 150-hour online program prepares you for entry-level plumbing service and new-construction support, and points you toward registered apprenticeship pathways.

Graduates pursue roles such as Plumbing Apprentice, Plumber Helper, Service Plumber Helper, and Maintenance Plumber. Many continue into registered apprenticeship through PHCC, the UA, or municipal utilities.
