Diploma in Advanced Plumbing Technology

Program Overview

The Advanced Plumbing Technology diploma is a unique opportunity to get the technical and career essential skills you need to succeed in the plumbing industry. The diploma program offers a direct pathway into trades training at NAIT without having to first be a registered apprentice and can also serve as a pathway to apprenticeship.

The program focuses on theory and hands-on training required to master installation, repair, perform mechanical system maintenance and more. You will learn specific technical knowledge and get hands-on skills and experience. You will also get to explore new technologies and systems such as water recycling and re-use, solar and geothermal heating systems and water conservation.

Industry-approved training
A career in plumbing calls for an understanding of both technical knowledge and career essential skills. Learning outcomes for this program include:

  • Industry standards, legislation and workplace expectations

    • Gas systems
    • Hydronic heating systems and gas appliances
    • Potable and non-potable water systems
    • Service drainage, waste and vent (DWV) systems
  • Design, interpretation and conversion of drawings for plumbing installations
