Learn the Complexities of Clean and Wastewater Delivery Systems
With construction projects, the MEPFP trades (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Fire Protection) are among the initial designers and contractors to get involved and are the last to leave the site at completion. The plumbing trade is a critical partner to all construction projects and is inevitably an essential discipline to the success of the project. This certificate in Plumbing Systems Design (PSD) provides you with comprehensive qualification, competency, and advanced skills in the design and specification of plumbing systems work in buildings and facilities.
Offered fully online, the program establishes the baseline knowledge needed to develop technical leadership skills in plumbing design through a blend of theories and practical applications. Through foundational courses and more advanced, science-based courses, this program offers a complete introduction to the intricacies of plumbing codes and the basis of design. It also covers plumbing categories including hospital/laboratory, high-rise buildings, and fire protection plumbing systems. Completing this certificate will provide an understanding of safe, efficient, and sustainable design for plumbing systems, which are vital to the health and safety of the public.
This program is developed in collaboration with ASPE, the leading industry organization for plumbing systems. Our curriculum adheres to their standards and certifications.
