Technician Development · Levels 1 to 4

The Training Hub

Every resource a Sunwaver needs to build real plumbing skills, the reading and the booklets, in one place. These are supplemental, though: much of what you learn will come on the job, working alongside your trainer.

Textbook chapters reference the Modern Plumbing textbook, which Sunwave provides. Check with your trainer if you don't have your copy yet.

Working through this material is on you. Your trainer will check in on your progress, but the drive should come from you, because you want to grow. All of it is here for you, so take advantage of it. The more you put in, the more skill you build and the more value you can create and give at Sunwave.

The Program

Level 1 through Level 4


Work through each level in order. Plan on about two months at each level, so you have time to cover everything, review it, and get tested before you level up.

Pace

About 2 months per level

Four levels, so roughly eight months from Level 1 to Level 4. Each level gives you the time to cover everything well.

How you cover it

Read, discuss, quiz, test

Go through every booklet and every chapter: read it, discuss it with your trainer, take the quiz to check what stuck, and then have your trainer test you.

Leveling up

Ready by the two-month mark

Have all of the level's material covered, reviewed, and tested, then test up to the next level.

You'll notice some material comes up more than once across the booklets, chapters, and levels. That's on purpose, the things that repeat are usually the things that matter most, so seeing them again helps them stick.
