About Your Plumbing Academy

Our Story and Why We Teach Plumbing

Your Plumbing Academy was started by working plumbers who kept meeting the same people on site: willing, capable people who wanted to learn the trade properly but could not leave their jobs to sit in a classroom for months.

So we built a school that brings the workshop to you. Our courses cover plumbing the way it is done on site, from pipe materials and jointing, water pressure and valves to drainage falls and traps, geysers and their safety devices, and the regulations behind them. Every lesson is backed by practical tasks, so you finish each course able to do the work, not just talk about it.

How Online Study Meets Practical Work

Every module follows the same rhythm. Watch the video lessons, work through the study guide and pass a short online quiz. Then complete a practical task with a practice kit, or on a real job under supervision, and upload photos or a video with a short checklist. A tutor assesses your work and gives feedback, and your progress is tracked module by module until you finish the course.
