About the Course

GSTS has partnered with the National Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors- Educational Foundation to bring to bring students two options for their plumbing education: in-person classroom OR hybrid on-line and in person option (known as the e-Learning Mentoring Program).

Classroom
Granite State Trade School offers an in-house plumbing apprenticeship classroom option for all 1st year through 4th year plumbers. Each plumbing class year requires 150 hours of classroom training, and each class year begins in September. The Plumbing apprentice classes meet in the evenings from 6:00pm to 8:30pm two nights a week. The in-person traditional plumbing apprenticeship program offer a huge advantage of many face to face hours with licensed plumbing instructors who can answer specific questions and guide you through challenging course work.

We reserve the right to reschedule classes if required.
