Plumbing apprenticeship programs are open to anyone who has graduated high school and is 18 years of age. However, some apprentices are allowed in at 17 if theyâve graduated high school. The program lasts anywhere from 4 to 5 years and also has a specific minimum number of hours youâll need to log as an apprentice. In addition, apprentice plumbers are required to have a minimum of 144 hours of related classroom hours that may or may not be offered by your local plumberâs union. If they do not, you will need to find your own accredited plumbing courses or program to go with your on-the-job training.
Master Plumber Certification. As in any job, the adage of paying your dues holds true in plumbing. Before you can move up in the ranks -- and the pay scale -- to master plumber, you must complete a plumbing apprenticeship program through a union or trade school. Requirements vary from state to state, but typically these are four-year programs that include classroom and on-the-job training. The next step is journeyman, and after holding that position for two years or so, depending on state requirements, you can become a master plumber -- but not without passing a state-sanctioned exam. Mastering the trade and all of the laws that go along with it pays off.
