Course Overview
Plumbing Pre-Apprentice Program at the Skilled Trades College of Canada was designed to give students the right mix of theoretical and hands-on training to make them successful apprentices.
STC focuses on what matters most – HANDS ON!! We designed our Plumbing program with the contractor in mind. After all, they are the ones that are going to hire you. While it's important to learn the theory, what's going to make you shine as an apprentice is your ability to help the job move along. Our program ensures you are in the lab the majority of the time working with what matters most – YOUR HANDS!
Plumbers are skilled professionals who specialize in the installation, repair, and maintenance of plumbing systems. They work with pipes, fixtures, and other components to ensure the proper functioning of water supply, drainage, and sewage systems in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Our graduates will receive the necessary skills, safety training, and hands-on practice needed to make them the most sought-after plumbing apprentices in their field.

Want to instantly double your value to a plumbing contractor? In Ontario, servicing gas-fired water heaters, tankless systems, and boilers requires a license from the TSSA. While our plumbing pre-apprenticeship program gives you a solid foundation in pipefitting and drainage, adding a Gas Technician 3 course makes you a massive asset on day one and doubles your job opportunities.
Pair your plumbing training with STC’s G3 license program, one of Ontario’s most affordable, TSSA-approved training programs and double your apprenticeship opportunities.
What’s in it for me?
Graduates of our Plumbing program leave with a full set of high end tools, including a tool belt and a backpack, a drill and bit kit, PPE – hardhat, safety glasses and safety vest, safety certifications, and textbooks. But most importantly, the skills and knowledge of a second year apprentice. After completing our program, you will have the confidence and hands-on experience needed to start working and become an asset to any company.
Plumbers are very well respected in the construction industry. It takes a very specialized set of skills and knowledge to work in the plumbing trade. A career as a plumber can provide a salary substantially higher than the national average. Working in Construction will allow you to strike that work-life balance that we are all looking for. A career in the trades allows you the time and will pay you the money you need to support your family, and at the same time pursue your hobbies and passions.
Receiving the necessary training from a pre-apprentice program can mean having an apprenticeship or not. Remember, as an apprentice you are asking a contractor to hire you. Gone are the days of showing up to a contractor with no experience. Contractors are looking for new hires that bring skills to the table and a genuine passion to work in the trades.
By taking our pre-apprenticeship program you are showing your potential new employer that you are 1. Serious 2. Skilled & 3. Ready to Work!
Our program prioritizes hands-on, practical training designed to mirror real-world job site tasks. We focus on building the functional skills you need to hit the ground running, rather than just teaching theory.
