North Montco Technical Career Center will offer a new course in Plumbing Basics starting Oct. 30.
Taught by master plumber, Andrew Cappello, students will gain a broad understanding of the plumbing trade. The course is ideal for homeowners, landlords, maintenance professionals or those interested in an entry-level position in the plumbing industry.
Through a combination of lecture and hands-on lab work, students will learn the basics of plumbing theory as well as the processes and skills needed to safely repair, install and do preventative maintenance on residential plumbing equipment. Topics will include the repair or replacement of faucets, toilets, water heaters, garbage disposals and installation of appliances such as dishwashers.
The instructor will also include topics on safety, use of tools and how to locate zoning and permitting information.
If entry-level employment is of interest, a plumbing career is a great option. The outlook for employment in the plumbing industry is excellent for Montgomery and the surrounding counties. Salaries start around $40,000 per year for entry-level, and can easily exceed $60,000 per year or more with experience and an apprenticeship.
