Why Geberit?

Project overview

Finglas Training Centre provides courses for up to 500+ students, across a range of vocational subjects, including plumbing apprenticeships. State funded, the Finglas Training centre is one of many providers operating under the CDETB in Dublin.

The CDETB’s Plumbing Apprenticeship is a 20 week programme covering everything from domestic plumbing and sanitaryware, through to rainwater harvesting and large refrigeration systems for industry.

The Finglas Training Centre is committed to providing students with the opportunity to experience the latest innovations in plumbing technology, so approached Geberit following recommendations from the tutors.

Why Geberit?

“We want our students to use the most up-to-date products”, said Finglas Training Centre’s“

Assistant Manager, Derek Horgan.

Geberit Mapress, in particular is a big hit. The students are fascinated by pressing - it makes a nice change from welding (which the students get tired of!) – anything to make their lives easier. Many of the learners have never come across pressing before, but once they’ve tried out Geberit Mapress during our course, they then go on to encourage their employers to have a go too.

“We’re delighted to work with Geberit and see enormous benefits for our apprentices.”
