Certificate III In Plumbing
- General Plumber - ApprenticeshipCreate a sustainable career as a registered plumber
Plumbing is an in-demand career providing essential services that are always needed. As a plumber, you have job security and opportunities in various specialised fields within the sector. 5,000 new plumbers are expected to join the workforce by 2028, according to the Victorian Skills Authority.
Gain experience working in plumbing sandpits and multi-trade workshops. In addition, you’ll develop skills in specialised training facilities for roof plumbing, gas fitting, roofing, sheet metal application and oxyacetylene work.
A plumbing apprenticeship provides industry‑specific, applied training. It also allows you to earn while you learn, preparing you for a successful and well-paid career.
There are many fields of plumbing you can work in, such as residential plumbing, commercial plumbing and industrial plumbing. You could work in service and repair, pipefitting, gas fitting, water supply systems, sanitary plumbing and drainage.
After completing the Certificate III in Plumbing (apprenticeship), the next step is to enrol in the Certificate IV in Plumbing and Services. Upon successful completion, you will sit the Building and Plumbing Commission licensing exam hosted at our campus. After passing the exam and receiving your licence, you can operate as a licensed plumber and even start your own business.
As a plumbing apprentice, you’ll work full time with your employer. You’ll also complete training in our state-of-the art plumbing trade workshops for 5 days per block, across 8 blocks each year.
Chisholm’s Plumbing department is proud to partner with Reece Plumbing for our training supplies. We ensure our students work with high quality, industry standard materials, providing them with the same products and tools they’ll use on real job sites. This helps build confidence, capability, and job readiness.
