Certifications worth having
NICET (National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies) water-based systems layout
The credential for designing and laying out systems rather than only installing them. Several levels, and it moves you off the tools if you want.
Inspection and testing of water-based systems
The other NICET track. Building owners must have systems tested regularly, so this work is steady and recession resistant.
Welding certifications
Some systems are welded rather than grooved, so certified pipe welders are useful everywhere.
Special hazards systems
Clean agent and foam systems for data centers, museums and chemical plants. Specialized work.
