What You’ll Learn

Build the Skills to Understand, Solve, Serve, and Succeed

That’s what the training is built around.

Learn how residential plumbing systems work and build a strong foundation in the systems, fixtures, and equipment you’ll see in the field.

Tools, Safety & Repairs

Get hands-on with common plumbing tools and equipment while learning safe work habits and basic repair skills.

Drain & Whole-Home Skills

Build experience with drain-cleaning work, cable equipment, an introduction to jetting, and evaluating the plumbing system beyond the immediate problem.

Customer Communication

Learn how to explain what you’re seeing, communicate clearly with homeowners, and deliver service through the Peterman Way.
