Would you like too become a licensed plumber?  According to the Massachusetts State Board of Plumbers and Pipefitters, before you take the licensing exam you must have an apprentice license, 5 years of on-the-job training, 550 hours (110 per year) of classroom instruction in plumbing code and theory from an approved school, and work for a master plumber.  For each year in which an apprentice obtains 110 clock hours of education, that apprentice must accrue 1700 clock hours of qualifying work experience with some exceptions:

  • An unlicensed individual may complete Tier 1 of the education requirement prior to obtaining an apprentice license.
  • A licensed apprentice may complete Tier 1 and Tier 2 in a single calendar year.

Requirements are subject to change at any time by the State of MA.  All students must bring a current MA Plumbing and Gas Code Book to all classes.  Approved school by the MA Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters.
