Mechanical Trades

This program provides basic entry-level and job upgrade skills. This subset of degrees and certificates was created in partnership with industry associates and The Department of Labor. It addresses the need of most contractors for multi-talented employees that can handle varied tasks with confidence. It is also intended to assist in the preparation of plumbers for successful completion of state plumbing exams. Completion of plumbing-related coursework at Red Rocks Community College can replace the field experience (work under a master plumber) required to qualify to take the exams as follows: one hour of classroom training equals one hour of on-the-job training up to a maximum of one year. Specialized and job upgrade courses (for example, PLU 207 International Plumbing Code, PLU 247 Hot Water Heating Systems) will continue to be taught as stand-alone courses. Students should call 303-914-6306 for advising.
Please see Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration, Carpentry, or Plumbing for additional degrees and certificates under this category.
