The Rhode Island Master Plumbers Association’s Apprenticeship training program is a private, non-profit, school offering the accredited educational hours required by the RI general laws RGL-20 sanctioned by the Rhode Island Department of Labor. An apprentice plumber is required to complete 576 hours within a 5-year period that is commonly completed in a 4-year period but can be completed in as little as 3+ years for the aggressive motivated individual. Every year over 75 students choose our school to learn the theory of plumbing with classroom training to provide them with the necessary skills required for the Journeyman Plumber exam to succeed in their career.

Upon completing the required accredited hours, our students obtain a combination of technical and critical thinking skills. In order to maintain the highest levels of learning and training, we provide informative training seminars and manufacturer plant field trips including incentives to attend outside training seminars to increase their knowledge of the newest and upcoming products as they become available.
