Questions
How much does it cost?
Tuition will be announced when enrollment opens. People on the waitlist hear first.
When does it start?
Start dates are not set yet. Plumbing opens first, online; Electrical and HVAC are planned. Join the waitlist and we will tell you as soon as enrollment opens. We do not take any payment now.
Do I need experience?
No. You need to be 18 or older and ready to work in the trade.
Which language are classes in?
English, Russian or Spanish - you choose. Trade terms are taught in English too, because that is what you hear on the job.
Where are the classes?
Online. Classes are live with an instructor, and you join from home on a computer with a camera and microphone. For the OSHA 30 part your camera stays on the whole time, and you cannot join from a phone. Between classes you study in your student portal.
Do I get hands-on practice?
Not in this program for now. You watch live demonstrations and video walkthroughs of real job sites and practice drawings, math and code problems. Real hands-on skill is built at work under a licensed plumber: this program does not replace that, and it is not an apprenticeship or a license. We plan to add optional in-person practice days later.
Is this a license or an apprenticeship?
No. The program prepares you for entry-level work in the trade. Plumbing and electrical licenses in New Jersey and New York have their own experience and exam requirements.
