Start with a choice that matters.
An original plan, installation, or service call gives the learner something specific to diagnose before we explain it.

Eight hours they have to take.
A course you’d be proud to teach.
A weak-pressure remodel. A backflow risk that is easy to miss. A water-heater replacement with more than one rule in play. We’re drafting Colorado plumbing CE around questions like these, and looking for an instructor to help decide what belongs in it.
Why ReadyCE exists
Make required education earn its place on the job.
Plumbers already know that a line on a certificate does not fix a bad installation. Our first course is being designed to pair legitimate annual hours with original job cases, current sources, clear explanations, and a completion record learners can retrieve.
Colorado is the first course. Our larger vision is a national catalog built one license and one state at a time, with qualified people shaping the teaching in every specialty. We will earn that breadth by making the first course good enough to stand behind.
The learning experience we are designing01 / See the job 02 / Find the rule 03 / Finish with proof
Less recitation. Better decisions.
Show the reasoning.
The learner finds the adopted requirement, sees the Colorado or local boundary, and learns why a plausible alternative fails.
Respect the full eight hours.
Hourly participation checks, saved progress, and a reliable completion record are product requirements we must build and test.
The proposed Colorado course
Four practical questions. Eight hours built around them.
Four candidate two-hour courses, one proposed competency each. The exact code references, technical answers, credit categories, and final lineup require instructor and provider review.
01
Water supply & distribution
Why is this remodel underperforming?
Hour one Trace the supply path, separate symptoms from measurements, and find the requirement that applies.
Hour two Compare two corrections when demand or pressure changes. Explain what still needs to be verified on site.
02
Cross-connections & backflow
Where could this connection put drinking water at risk?
Hour one Find the source, connection path, and possible reversal in a real household scenario.
Hour two Change the pressure or equipment. Check the adopted requirement and local water-purveyor boundary before choosing protection.
03
Sanitary drainage
What will fail after the wall closes?
Hour one Read a remodel plan and identify the drainage facts that matter before work is concealed.
Hour two Compare two layouts, find the governing provision, and defend a correction that remains serviceable.
04
Water heaters
What would you catch before this replacement is finished?
Hour one Review an installation and determine which plumbing, fuel-gas, manufacturer, and local requirements apply.
Hour two Diagnose a different replacement case and explain a correction. The instructor will choose and validate the exact defects.
This is a development outline, not an approved CE offering or field instruction. The governing source is the current Colorado State Plumbing Board rule ↗. Enrollment is closed.
For the right instructor
Help us make the course you wish your crew could take.
ReadyCE brings the research, original drafts, diagrams, learning design, and production. You bring the technical judgment: correct the cases, choose the defensible answers, surface the code and local caveats, and substantively teach or deliver the lessons.
Start small. Get it right.
One paid sample hour first.
- Review our original backflow case and proposed teaching map.
- Return a written technical redline and help teach the hour.
- Watch working plumbers try the non-credit prototype.
We agree on qualifications, scope, fee, teaching format, and ownership before work begins. The remaining seven hours are a separate decision after the sample holds up.
