At Kliman Sales, we believe the best training is hands-on and relevant to the work you do every day. Our team works directly with contractors, engineers, and distributors across Northern California, Northern Nevada, Hawaii, and the Northwest to provide practical training on the products we represent, installation best practices, and local code requirements.
Our mission is simple: to equip trade professionals with the knowledge and confidence to specify, install and maintain today’s most advanced plumbing and mechanical systems.
We train wholesalers, architects, specifiers, facility engineers, contractors, and end-users. We know every group has different needs, so we tailor each training to the people in the room and the work they do every day.
You’ll find us wherever the work is happening, in union apprenticeship schools, plumbing shops, architect and engineer offices, hospital mechanical rooms, airport bathrooms, and high-end showrooms. We spend time in the field because that’s where we learn what our customers really need. We also bring wholesalers and contractors into our manufacturers’ factories, giving them a firsthand look at the products and how they perform in real-world applications.
In commercial plumbing, things are always changing, and having the right knowledge matters. At Kliman Sales, we believe good training should be practical, useful, and connected to the work happening in the field. We bring our product knowledge and hands-on experience to every training, so the people we work with leave with information they can put to use right away.
Our programs focus on:
We offer training courses accepted by ASPE, USGBC (LEED) and registered with AIA for Health, Safety, and Wellness (HSW) learning units. Classes are available in our San Jose and Sacramento training centers or can be conducted on site.
Join live sessions at our San Jose, Sacramento, or Honolulu facilities. Each class includes product demonstrations, live installations, and guided Q&A with factory representatives. Topics range from flush valve calibration to carrier system alignment and trench drain configuration.
Prefer to train your crew on location? Kliman Sales provides mobile training sessions at job sites, distributor branches, or fabrication shops. We supply all necessary materials and equipment, adapting the curriculum to your team’s project environment.
When travel isn’t practical, we offer remote learning options covering specification standards, system design principles, and product line introductions. These sessions are ideal for designers, engineers, estimators, and distributor sales staff.
