Plumbing Techniques at Fanshawe College

The Plumbing Techniques program is a one-year Ontario College Certificate program with courses designed to prepare graduates for entrance into a career in the plumbing trade. Students will develop a thorough understanding of theoretical and practical aspects of the plumbing trade and the associated tools and materials.

Students will build their skill set through the practical application of fundamental plumbing activities in labs on-site at the College in addition to the theory learned in a face-to-face, web-enhanced environment. This is an entry-level credential and students are not required or qualified to become members of a professional or regulatory body upon completion.

Graduates of Fanshawe College’s Plumbing Techniques program can pursue a plumbing apprenticeship or work in a large number of trade-related fields, including maintenance, industrial, construction, residential, wholesale and distribution or municipal water and sewage treatment centres.
