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.
