What you’ll learn

From the hose bib to the work order.

Each module has short lessons, diagrams, key terms, field scenarios and a quiz. The workbook PDF stays available as a download in a live version of the course.

  • Hydraulics you can use on site

    Measure static and working pressure, estimate flow with a bucket test, and build a simple pressure budget using 0.433 psi per foot.

  • Parts, pipe and controllers

    Trace water from the point of connection to the heads, recognize Rain Bird and Irritrol families, and program a controller correctly.

  • Backflow rules in BC

    Identify AVB, PVB, DCVA and RP assemblies, and know what a technician may and may not do under the BC Plumbing Code and local bylaws.

  • Install, troubleshoot, winterize

    Use BC 1 Call before you dig, find wiring and water faults methodically, and blow out a system safely for a BC Interior winter.

Suggested times match the 8-hour course.

Work at your own pace. In this preview, Module 1 is unlocked; Modules 2–10 show the lock screen you would see before enrollment.

    Who it’s for

    Built for technicians in the BC Interior.

    • New Aquapulse crew

      A structured path through the same skills used on spring start-ups, mid-season repairs, fall blowouts and new installs.

    • Self-paced learners

      Short lessons, instant quiz feedback, a field calculator and “try it” scenarios set in Kamloops, Merritt and the Nicola Valley.

    • Not a licence or ticket

      This is a training guide. Always follow manufacturer instructions, the BC Plumbing Code, WorkSafeBC requirements and local municipal bylaws.

    Training guide only. When in doubt, stop and ask your lead. Backflow assembly testing in BC is done only by a certified tester. Product names are examples of real product families — always check the current manufacturer literature.
