Noritz Now Offering Contractors Online Tankless Water Heating Education for Added Convenience.
New training supplement gives plumbing and heating contractors of all experience and skill levels an easier way to gain product knowledge.


Noritz America today announced the release of its Online Residential Level 1 (R1) tankless water heater training for plumbing and heating contractors. The Noritz University course will supplement personal training by Noritz sales personnel, allowing those tradespeople who are unable to attend in-person sessions the ability to gain and deepen their tankless knowledge quickly and effectively.

“The training is useful for contractors of all levels of experience, because we continue to develop and improve our technology,” says Jason Fleming, Marketing Manager for Noritz America. “Now there’s a new way to get the right information quickly and efficiently without always having to travel to a Noritz facility or a distributor location.”

The Noritz website will host the training slides, which also furnish information on a shortcut to Training signup, available courses, as well as the benefits of participating in the company’s PROCard rebate program. A checkpoint quiz at the end of the module allows contractors to complete their education courses in order to be listed in the “Find an Installer” section of the website, while also elevating their status as PROCard members.
