Plumbing and Pipe Fitting

NELVIN GATHUNGU

Former Student, Class of 2024
“I had very little plumbing knowledge before joining the plumbing course at our VTC. The hands-on training, especially in pipe fitting and repair and installation of pipes, gave me the confidence to apply for jobs. I am now working as a plumber at a local firm, and I owe it all to the supportive instructors and practical learning environment.”

Graduates of this course will be awarded a nationally recognized certificate upon successful completion examined by either NITA (Grade III-I) or KNEC (Artisan), depending on the selected track.
