Our courses are broken into three categories: Bathroom & Kitchen, Hardware and General Knowledge. Each category contains several courses that correspond with DPHA's Education Manuals.

Once all categories and courses are completed, you will receive a graduate badge that will also be added to your profile on DPHA.net.
