Plumbing
Overview
This 60-hour Plumbing workshop, known in Arabic as مهني تمديدات صحية, gives you a practical grounding in water supply and drainage systems, the parts and materials that make them work, and how to install, read drawings for, and maintain a plumbing system from start to finish. CIS College is Lebanon’s largest private vocational college, founded in 1991, with branches across the country, and this course is built for anyone who wants real, job-ready plumbing skills rather than just theory.
You will work through the full plumbing picture: how water is supplied and treated, how drainage and venting systems are put together, the pipes, valves, and fixtures used in the profession, and the installation, testing, and troubleshooting work that keeps a system running. Health and safety practices are built into every stage, so you leave the course used to working the right way on a real site.
