Description
The Pipe Trades Foundation course is delivered with traditional classroom and shop-based instruction. This program prepares students for entry-level employment in three piping trades: Plumbing, Steam fitting/Pipe fitting, and Sprinkler fitting. To work in BC, a pipe trade worker must be either certified in a trade or registered in a four-year apprenticeship program leading to certification.

Entry Requirements

While it wasn’t always easy combining classroom time and field trips on top of the hours for studying and homework, it’s been great to gain so much hands-on experience during the courses.

I like the problem-solving nature of millwrighting. I love how diverse the trade is. There’s always something new and different to work on.

This program gives you the ability to have a lot of hands-on time in the clinic where you can practice the skills you are learning and get a bit of an idea of what it is like to be a dental assistant.

Taking this program is one of the most exciting things I could've done. It helped me grow into a professional, while also growing personally. I have carried my knowledge forward and will always hold the program and faculty close to my heart.
