Plumber 2 Plumber: Rheem Training Taught by Master Plumbers

Everyone offers training, but not everyone can say that they have a team of master plumbers who have all formally run plumbing companies. Join Rheem’s master plumbers for weekly instructor-led digital training available online. That’s right, every class is taught by a master plumber.

What’s Different About Plumber 2 Plumber (P2P) Training?

It can be frustrating when it seems like your trainer doesn’t know much beyond what is on the slide in a presentation.

Training Success for Plumbers in 2020 and Beyond

What a year! Despite the challenges that 2020 brought, plumbers were still able to get the training they needed. We welcomed over 19,000 attendees whether they participated in in-person training or online training once we had to close our Innovation Learning Centers due to COVID. If you were one of the many plumbers that attended – THANK YOU! We are looking forward to having thousands more this year.

Plumbers’ Exchange Connects Plumbers
