Steve Miller, Training Director

No other organization serves the training needs of the Sprinkler Fitting industry like the United Association. For over a century, the UA has been training the most highly-qualified workers in the United States and Canada.

Over the past several decades, the United Association’s training programs have produced a stable, skilled workforce responsible for building and maintaining sprinkler systems in the various industrial, commercial, and residential facilities that make up the North American landscape.

No one can match the commitment nor the investment. The UA spends over $100 million annually on training program efforts involving approximately 100,000 journeymen and apprentices in over 400 local training facilities at any given time.

In addition to our five-year apprenticeship programs, Sprinkler Fitters Local 699 offers continuing education opportunities that includes journeymen training and certification, as well as an associate’s degree program.

We understand the importance of having trained quality crafts people installing, inspecting, testing, and maintaining your fire protection systems and no one in Seattle trains more or better quality sprinkler fitters than U.A. Local 699.
