Plumbing Apprenticeship Program: Journeyman License Preparation
The plumbing apprenticeship courses are designed for apprentices that are currently working in the plumbing trade. You will need to upload a copy of your apprentice card at the time of registration for Plumbing Tiers II, III, IV & V. Plumbing Tier I students can attend without an apprentice card (although, it is strongly recommended to obtain an apprentice card as soon as possible) but will need to have an apprentice card before they can sign up for Tier II. The courses will prepare you to sit for the Massachusetts State Examination for the Journeyman & Masters Plumbing Licenses.
