Choosing between a school and an apprenticeship
A paid apprenticeship puts you to work from day one and builds the hours a plumbing license requires, so it is the most direct route into the trade. A college or trade school program costs tuition, but it teaches the basics first and can make you a stronger applicant for apprenticeships and helper jobs. The programs in Albuquerque are schools, so ask each one about start dates, cost and whether your classes count toward an apprenticeship. Read the guide to plumbing apprenticeships for what to expect.
