Do you want to work legally as a plumber in Maryland?

The path begins with the Apprentice Plumbing License.

With this license, you’ll be able to participate in real projects—from water system installations to gas work—always under the supervision of a Master Plumber/Gas Fitter or a Master Natural Gas Fitter.

This is the foundation to gain hands-on experience, learn directly in the field, and progress to the Journeyman level, until eventually reaching the highest rank: Master Plumber.

The best part: This registration does not require prior experience or an initial exam.
