Plumbing Apprenticeship Program

Let Century College help you with the educational component of your apprenticeship program.

We have condensed and accelerated our Plumbing Apprenticeship Program from four to two years, and will be adding a Journeyperson exam prep class for spring semester.

Classes run every year starting in the fall. (In some cases, it may be possible to start later in the year.) You are not required to be a registered apprentice to participate.

After completion of this program, and completion of your required apprenticeship hours, you are eligible to take the State of MN Journeyman's Examination for Plumbers.
