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. Richmond has both, so you can compare them side by side above. Read the guide to plumbing apprenticeships for what to expect.
