Program details
Overview
This one-year certificate program provides a Canadian-context foundation in the knowledge and skills required to install and repair piping systems in residential and commercial buildings. It is delivered full-time at the Notre Dame Campus with a fall intake. The curriculum covers welding, soldering, pipe layout, and estimating, and includes a two-week work-integrated learning placement giving students hands-on experience alongside industry professionals. The program is not itself an apprenticeship but builds foundational skills relevant to the piping trades. Graduates are prepared for entry-level positions installing and maintaining piping systems in residential and commercial construction settings, and the certificate can support further progression into trades apprenticeship pathways.
