Contractors who want to increase their knowledge and add skills can now receive Viega LLC training online and interact with trainers.

While Viega’s seminar centers in Colorado and New Hampshire are temporarily closed due to COVID-19, the company is making the valuable training available for free to contractors, distributors and others.

Viega, a leading manufacturer of pipe fitting installation technology, is offering classes in such subjects as ProPress, MegaPress and PureFlow PEX, as well as radiant and flushing systems training. The classes are taught by Viega’s expert instructors. Some courses earn Continuing Education Units while others offer the opportunity to test for industry credentials from Viega.

Classes are free, but registration is required. For a schedule of Viega classes and to learn more, visit the Viega website. 

Viega is also launching TechTalk LIVE!, an online version of the Q&A column that appears in issues of Viega Voice. Viega trainers and master plumbers Troy Locke and Bo DeAngelo will host the Zoom webinars, discussing topics and answering questions from attendees in real time.

The first TechTalk LIVE! webinar will be at 6 p.m. CT, Wednesday, May 6. The topic is “Tooling for Press Systems.” Additional webinars on different topics will be held every other Wednesday at noon or 6 p.m. CT. The sessions are free, but registration is required. Those interested can register online.
