WHY PLUMBING?

Plumbing is a great choice to learn. Here are some top reasons to join our training program

Plumbers protect the health of the nation:
Water supply, water heating, and waste systems must be maintained to keep everyone healthy
Year-round demand for service:
Some trades have slow or off-seasons which can cause payroll inconsistencies. Plumbing demand is far more consistent.
Recession-proof:
Once you have learned to plumb, you can earn a steady income provided you are licensed per state or local requirements.
Pandemic-proof:
During the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, plumbing was classified as an essential service. Eco implemented cleaning protocols, use of PPE and other measures to safely service homes during lockdowns.

OUR TRAINING PROGRAM

The high level of technical training and customer service that our team provides to clients requires a true commitment to learn our unique service system and develop technical expertise.

The program guides students through orientation and training to when they graduate to independent service professional.

NexTech Academy

Using a laptop assigned to you for classroom use, you’ll learn from an excellent technical program called NexTech Academy.

Service system training provides the winning framework for how to greet clients, prepare estimates and present options.

Ride-along for hands-on training in customers’ homes

You will benefit from working with multiple Ride-along Trainers who are independent service professionals. Training takes place while going to appointments and taking care of clients’ needs.
