Plumbing Apprenticeship

Overview

The Plumbing Apprenticeship program prepares students to become licensed plumbers. This four-year program consists of three quarters during the first three years and two quarters during the last year. Courses are offered in the evening.

All program instructors are licensed journeyman or master plumbers, and courses include lecture and hands-on lab instruction. After completing the Plumbing Apprenticeship program and the required on-the-job training period (four years verifiable experience), students may apply to take the examination for the Journeyman's Plumbing License administered by the City of Omaha.

It is highly recommended that work experience and the apprenticeship program be done concurrently.
