More than clearing
a blocked drain.
Good drain cleaners solve problems. Great ones understand the whole job — from the first question to the final report.
Understand the problem.
Read the symptoms, build a job history and decide what needs investigating. A better diagnosis starts before the hose comes out.

Who is the programme for?
Plumbers, drain-cleaning operators and business owners who want a more consistent, capable approach to drain work. Experience and supervision needs are discussed before enrolment.
Is this an NZQA qualification or a PGDB licence?
No. The certificate is a Drain Pro Systems private programme award. It does not replace NZQA qualifications, PGDB registration, practising licences or any required authorisation.
Can I earn the certificate online?
Online learning supports the pathway. The programme certificate also requires practical work, evidence and observed assessment. Completing the sample lessons does not earn certification.
What does training cost, and when can I start?
Register your interest and tell us about your experience and goals. Dates, fees, location, delivery options and assessment requirements will be confirmed before enrolment.
