Frequently Asked Questions
Why is plumbing training required?
Most local licensing authorities require plumbers to complete a certain number of CE hours to renew their certifications. Our solution helps keep employees compliant without affecting productivity.
Additionally, if you currently employ apprentices or offer on-the-job training opportunities, providing a comprehensive exam prep program can help you bolster your workforce.
Why choose online training?
Instead of forcing your workforce to sacrifice business opportunities for an in-person learning experience, online courses let your employees train around their schedule.
Additionally, progress is saved, allowing your employees to start, stop, and resume their coursework as needed.
What is exam prep?
Our exam prep courses thoroughly review relevant plumbing codes and utilize study guides and practice tests to help users understand everything they need to know to pass their initial licensing exams. Individual courses and book bundle options are available.
Why is CE needed?
State licensing agencies that regulate plumbing certifications generally include CE requirements in the license renewal process to keep plumbers safe and compliant with updated industry regulations and code changes.
Updates occur frequently because most states use modified versions of the International Code Council's (ICC) International Plumbing Code (IPC). Due to constantly evolving technology and installation methods, the ICC typically updates its code every three years. Then, states review the updated code and modify it to create their own unique version.
Not all CE is just for code updates. Local governments also use mandatory education and professional development electives to help maintain public safety by ensuring their labor force performs proper installations.
