MES Division Helper Training
The Plumbers Local 1 Joint Apprenticeship and Training
Committee have set up a special sub-committee to
specifically address the training needs of MES Helpers. The
Helper Training Sub-Committee created the MES Helper
Training Program. The goal of the MES Helper Training
Program is to provide job related training to make MES
Helpers more productive, safe, and effective at work, and to
prepare the helper to eventually assume the role of MES
Journeyman. In order to allow the individual MES Helper to
fit school time into his / her work and home schedule, the
MES Helper Training Program is conducted under an “open
enrollment” format. It is a voluntary program.
As an MES Helper acquires skills through “on the job”
experience at work, and learns by attending related training
sessions, the potential for advancement to MES Journeyman
can be realized if the individual is willing to make the
necessary commitment. To register for participation in the
program, come in to the office of the Local 1 Training
Center at: 37-11 47th Avenue, Long Island City, N.Y. 11101
or call (718) 752 – 9630.
For a listing of available courses and a schedule of class
starting dates, see below. Please note that some courses
require another course as a pre-requisite. You must complete
any pre-requisite course before you can enroll for the next
course.
What is needed to qualify for the test to change
title from an M.E.S. Helper to an M.E.S. Journeyman?
- The Helper must have a letter from the union office
stating that he/she is currently a 5th year MES Helper.
- The Helper must have a letter from the Plumbing
Industry Board stating that he/she has worked at least
5,000 contribution hours in the best 3 out of 5 years
just prior to applying for the test.
- The Helper must have successfully completed at least
450 hours of related training at the Plumbers Local
Union No. 1 Training Center.
When all three requirements are met, the helper can
register to take the next scheduled MES Helper test for
change of title to MES Journeyman. Passing applicants will
be recommended for change of title to M.E.S. Journeyman.
