You need 7,500 ( about 3 and a 1/2 years of 40 hour weeks ) logged hours as a apprentice to test for journeyman plus a certified back flow prevention class which is like 32 hours but you need to hold your apprenticeship license for four years
Then you need 3,700 hours ( almost 2 years of 40 hour weeks ) as a journeyman plus redo the backflow classes to test for masters ... All tests are written and state codes are sometimes hard to follow because they can change without much notice
Plumbing is easy ... It's a mix of basic chemistry, math and common sense but it's no pun intended shitty work...
