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.
