At Sault College in Sault Ste. Marie, Canada, Cert in Plumbing Techniques is offered as a certificate in Civil Engineering & Construction programme. The programme runs for 2 semesters, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition for international students is CAD 15,911 per year (CAD 2,771 per year for local students).
Across two semesters, the certificate trains students in labs built to mirror real plumbing settings, building technical skill in installing, maintaining and repairing pipes, alongside safe plumbing-system operation, workplace-safety practices, and relevant codes and standards. A capstone project has students, working alone or in teams, carry a plumbing installation or diagnostic project through every phase, starting with blueprint reading and regulatory compliance and moving through safety planning, material selection, cost estimation and hands-on execution. The certificate prepares graduates for entry-level residential, commercial or industrial plumbing roles and can lead into an apprenticeship toward becoming a licensed plumber.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The programme page states only an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent, or mature student status, as its academic requirement; no specific course or grade prerequisite is listed, and applicants who lack an OSSD may still be admitted as mature students provided they meet this same baseline. English-proficiency for non-Canadian-educated applicants is deferred to Sault College's international admission requirements: IELTS Academic 6.0 (no band below 5.5), TOEFL iBT 79-80 (no section below 20), PTE Academic 60 (no band below 52), or Duolingo 110 (no band below 105), scores current within two years of program start. No portfolio, interview, or other admission condition is stated on either page.
