Certificate in Waterworks Technology
COURSE OUTLINE

The "Certificate in Waterworks Technology" course is 12 weeks (full time) or 22 weeks (part-time, evening course) in duration. Waterworks Tech takes a practical approach to learning with classroom instructor led training which includes hands-on skills learning. With the components of waterworks construction right in the classroom, such as fire hydrants, valves, fittings, pipe and so on, a student does not need to rely solely on learning from a book. Hands-on practical ability is considered just as important as theoretical knowledge when out in the real world of waterworks construction and maintenance.Occasional field trips to interesting waterworks locations as well as skills practice outside make this course what some students refer to as an excellent learning experience. For field trips you will require safety footwear which need not be new. The "Certificate in Waterworks Technology" is a designated program under the B.C. / Canada Student Loans / Grants Program, as well as a being a designated program under Service Canada.
