  &lt;h1&gt;Do You Meet the Wisconsin Requirements?&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important:&lt;/strong&gt; This course is intended for individuals who meet Wisconsin's requirements to apply for the Master Plumber examination.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Under Wisconsin law, an applicant for the Master Plumber examination must provide evidence satisfactory to the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) of one of the following:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Journeyman Plumber Path&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp;A specific record of at least 1,000 hours of experience per year for 3 or more years as a licensed journeyman plumber in Wisconsin.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engineering Path:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Graduation in engineering from a school or college approved by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Wisconsin DSPS determines whether an applicant meets the requirements to take the examination. WQAW does not determine an applicant's eligibility.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you are unsure whether you qualify, please contact Wisconsin DSPS before registering for this course.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Applying for Your Wisconsin Master Plumber License &amp;amp; Exam&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;h3&gt;Please Read Before Registering&lt;/h3&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration for this WQAW course does not register you for the Wisconsin Master Plumber examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completion of this course also &lt;strong&gt;does not fulfill Wisconsin's licensing requirements or guarantee eligibility to take the state examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Each applicant is responsible for:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the required Wisconsin DSPS application&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Providing required documentation of education and/or experience&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Paying applicable state fees&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Meeting all licensing requirements&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the state examination process&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;During the course, &lt;strong&gt;Vince Kent will provide guidance on the Wisconsin examination application process&lt;/strong&gt;, including information about completing the required forms and submitting supporting documentation.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Applicants should rely on Wisconsin DSPS for the official determination of eligibility and current licensing requirements.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Online recordings are included with registration&lt;/strong&gt; so you can review the material while studying outside of class.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;Do You Meet the Wisconsin Requirements?&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important:&lt;/strong&gt; This course is intended for individuals who meet Wisconsin's requirements to apply for the Master Plumber examination.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Under Wisconsin law, an applicant for the Master Plumber examination must provide evidence satisfactory to the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) of one of the following:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Journeyman Plumber Path&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp;A specific record of at least 1,000 hours of experience per year for 3 or more years as a licensed journeyman plumber in Wisconsin.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engineering Path:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Graduation in engineering from a school or college approved by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Wisconsin DSPS determines whether an applicant meets the requirements to take the examination. WQAW does not determine an applicant's eligibility.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you are unsure whether you qualify, please contact Wisconsin DSPS before registering for this course.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Applying for Your Wisconsin Master Plumber License &amp;amp; Exam&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;h3&gt;Please Read Before Registering&lt;/h3&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration for this WQAW course does not register you for the Wisconsin Master Plumber examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completion of this course also &lt;strong&gt;does not fulfill Wisconsin's licensing requirements or guarantee eligibility to take the state examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Each applicant is responsible for:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the required Wisconsin DSPS application&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Providing required documentation of education and/or experience&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Paying applicable state fees&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Meeting all licensing requirements&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the state examination process&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;During the course, &lt;strong&gt;Vince Kent will provide guidance on the Wisconsin examination application process&lt;/strong&gt;, including information about completing the required forms and submitting supporting documentation.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Applicants should rely on Wisconsin DSPS for the official determination of eligibility and current licensing requirements.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;Do You Meet the Wisconsin Requirements?&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important:&lt;/strong&gt; This course is intended for individuals who meet Wisconsin's requirements to apply for the Master Plumber examination.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Under Wisconsin law, an applicant for the Master Plumber examination must provide evidence satisfactory to the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) of one of the following:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Journeyman Plumber Path&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp;A specific record of at least 1,000 hours of experience per year for 3 or more years as a licensed journeyman plumber in Wisconsin.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engineering Path:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Graduation in engineering from a school or college approved by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Wisconsin DSPS determines whether an applicant meets the requirements to take the examination. WQAW does not determine an applicant's eligibility.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you are unsure whether you qualify, please contact Wisconsin DSPS before registering for this course.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Applying for Your Wisconsin Master Plumber License &amp;amp; Exam&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;h3&gt;Please Read Before Registering&lt;/h3&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration for this WQAW course does not register you for the Wisconsin Master Plumber examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completion of this course also &lt;strong&gt;does not fulfill Wisconsin's licensing requirements or guarantee eligibility to take the state examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Each applicant is responsible for:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the required Wisconsin DSPS application&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Providing required documentation of education and/or experience&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Paying applicable state fees&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Meeting all licensing requirements&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the state examination process&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;During the course, &lt;strong&gt;Vince Kent will provide guidance on the Wisconsin examination application process&lt;/strong&gt;, including information about completing the required forms and submitting supporting documentation.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Applicants should rely on Wisconsin DSPS for the official determination of eligibility and current licensing requirements.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;Do You Meet the Wisconsin Requirements?&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important:&lt;/strong&gt; This course is intended for individuals who meet Wisconsin's requirements to apply for the Master Plumber examination.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Under Wisconsin law, an applicant for the Master Plumber examination must provide evidence satisfactory to the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) of one of the following:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Journeyman Plumber Path&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp;A specific record of at least 1,000 hours of experience per year for 3 or more years as a licensed journeyman plumber in Wisconsin.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engineering Path:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Graduation in engineering from a school or college approved by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Wisconsin DSPS determines whether an applicant meets the requirements to take the examination. WQAW does not determine an applicant's eligibility.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you are unsure whether you qualify, please contact Wisconsin DSPS before registering for this course.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Applying for Your Wisconsin Master Plumber License &amp;amp; Exam&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;h3&gt;Please Read Before Registering&lt;/h3&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration for this WQAW course does not register you for the Wisconsin Master Plumber examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completion of this course also &lt;strong&gt;does not fulfill Wisconsin's licensing requirements or guarantee eligibility to take the state examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Each applicant is responsible for:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the required Wisconsin DSPS application&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Providing required documentation of education and/or experience&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Paying applicable state fees&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Meeting all licensing requirements&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the state examination process&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;During the course, &lt;strong&gt;Vince Kent will provide guidance on the Wisconsin examination application process&lt;/strong&gt;, including information about completing the required forms and submitting supporting documentation.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Applicants should rely on Wisconsin DSPS for the official determination of eligibility and current licensing requirements.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;The Wisconsin DSPS Master Plumber examination is an &lt;strong&gt;open-book, two-part examination&lt;/strong&gt;, with a passing score of &lt;strong&gt;70%&lt;/strong&gt;. DSPS specifies which reference materials may be brought into the examination.

  &lt;h1&gt;Do You Meet the Wisconsin Requirements?&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important:&lt;/strong&gt; This course is intended for individuals who meet Wisconsin's requirements to apply for the Master Plumber examination.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Under Wisconsin law, an applicant for the Master Plumber examination must provide evidence satisfactory to the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) of one of the following:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Journeyman Plumber Path&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp;A specific record of at least 1,000 hours of experience per year for 3 or more years as a licensed journeyman plumber in Wisconsin.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engineering Path:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Graduation in engineering from a school or college approved by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Wisconsin DSPS determines whether an applicant meets the requirements to take the examination. WQAW does not determine an applicant's eligibility.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you are unsure whether you qualify, please contact Wisconsin DSPS before registering for this course.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Applying for Your Wisconsin Master Plumber License &amp;amp; Exam&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;h3&gt;Please Read Before Registering&lt;/h3&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration for this WQAW course does not register you for the Wisconsin Master Plumber examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completion of this course also &lt;strong&gt;does not fulfill Wisconsin's licensing requirements or guarantee eligibility to take the state examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Each applicant is responsible for:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the required Wisconsin DSPS application&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Providing required documentation of education and/or experience&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Paying applicable state fees&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Meeting all licensing requirements&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the state examination process&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;During the course, &lt;strong&gt;Vince Kent will provide guidance on the Wisconsin examination application process&lt;/strong&gt;, including information about completing the required forms and submitting supporting documentation.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Applicants should rely on Wisconsin DSPS for the official determination of eligibility and current licensing requirements.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;Do You Meet the Wisconsin Requirements?&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important:&lt;/strong&gt; This course is intended for individuals who meet Wisconsin's requirements to apply for the Master Plumber examination.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Under Wisconsin law, an applicant for the Master Plumber examination must provide evidence satisfactory to the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) of one of the following:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Journeyman Plumber Path&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp;A specific record of at least 1,000 hours of experience per year for 3 or more years as a licensed journeyman plumber in Wisconsin.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engineering Path:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Graduation in engineering from a school or college approved by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Wisconsin DSPS determines whether an applicant meets the requirements to take the examination. WQAW does not determine an applicant's eligibility.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you are unsure whether you qualify, please contact Wisconsin DSPS before registering for this course.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Applying for Your Wisconsin Master Plumber License &amp;amp; Exam&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;h3&gt;Please Read Before Registering&lt;/h3&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration for this WQAW course does not register you for the Wisconsin Master Plumber examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completion of this course also &lt;strong&gt;does not fulfill Wisconsin's licensing requirements or guarantee eligibility to take the state examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Each applicant is responsible for:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the required Wisconsin DSPS application&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Providing required documentation of education and/or experience&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Paying applicable state fees&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Meeting all licensing requirements&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the state examination process&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;During the course, &lt;strong&gt;Vince Kent will provide guidance on the Wisconsin examination application process&lt;/strong&gt;, including information about completing the required forms and submitting supporting documentation.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Applicants should rely on Wisconsin DSPS for the official determination of eligibility and current licensing requirements.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;The Wisconsin DSPS Master Plumber examination is an &lt;strong&gt;open-book, two-part examination&lt;/strong&gt;, with a passing score of &lt;strong&gt;70%&lt;/strong&gt;. DSPS specifies which reference materials may be brought into the examination.

  &lt;h1&gt;Do You Meet the Wisconsin Requirements?&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important:&lt;/strong&gt; This course is intended for individuals who meet Wisconsin's requirements to apply for the Master Plumber examination.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Under Wisconsin law, an applicant for the Master Plumber examination must provide evidence satisfactory to the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) of one of the following:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Journeyman Plumber Path&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp;A specific record of at least 1,000 hours of experience per year for 3 or more years as a licensed journeyman plumber in Wisconsin.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engineering Path:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Graduation in engineering from a school or college approved by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Wisconsin DSPS determines whether an applicant meets the requirements to take the examination. WQAW does not determine an applicant's eligibility.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you are unsure whether you qualify, please contact Wisconsin DSPS before registering for this course.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Applying for Your Wisconsin Master Plumber License &amp;amp; Exam&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;h3&gt;Please Read Before Registering&lt;/h3&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration for this WQAW course does not register you for the Wisconsin Master Plumber examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completion of this course also &lt;strong&gt;does not fulfill Wisconsin's licensing requirements or guarantee eligibility to take the state examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Each applicant is responsible for:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the required Wisconsin DSPS application&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Providing required documentation of education and/or experience&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Paying applicable state fees&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Meeting all licensing requirements&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the state examination process&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;During the course, &lt;strong&gt;Vince Kent will provide guidance on the Wisconsin examination application process&lt;/strong&gt;, including information about completing the required forms and submitting supporting documentation.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Applicants should rely on Wisconsin DSPS for the official determination of eligibility and current licensing requirements.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;Do You Meet the Wisconsin Requirements?&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important:&lt;/strong&gt; This course is intended for individuals who meet Wisconsin's requirements to apply for the Master Plumber examination.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Under Wisconsin law, an applicant for the Master Plumber examination must provide evidence satisfactory to the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) of one of the following:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Journeyman Plumber Path&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp;A specific record of at least 1,000 hours of experience per year for 3 or more years as a licensed journeyman plumber in Wisconsin.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engineering Path:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Graduation in engineering from a school or college approved by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Wisconsin DSPS determines whether an applicant meets the requirements to take the examination. WQAW does not determine an applicant's eligibility.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you are unsure whether you qualify, please contact Wisconsin DSPS before registering for this course.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Applying for Your Wisconsin Master Plumber License &amp;amp; Exam&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;h3&gt;Please Read Before Registering&lt;/h3&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration for this WQAW course does not register you for the Wisconsin Master Plumber examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completion of this course also &lt;strong&gt;does not fulfill Wisconsin's licensing requirements or guarantee eligibility to take the state examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Each applicant is responsible for:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the required Wisconsin DSPS application&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Providing required documentation of education and/or experience&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Paying applicable state fees&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Meeting all licensing requirements&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the state examination process&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;During the course, &lt;strong&gt;Vince Kent will provide guidance on the Wisconsin examination application process&lt;/strong&gt;, including information about completing the required forms and submitting supporting documentation.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Applicants should rely on Wisconsin DSPS for the official determination of eligibility and current licensing requirements.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;The Wisconsin DSPS Master Plumber examination is an &lt;strong&gt;open-book, two-part examination&lt;/strong&gt;, with a passing score of &lt;strong&gt;70%&lt;/strong&gt;. DSPS specifies which reference materials may be brought into the examination.

  &lt;h1&gt;Do You Meet the Wisconsin Requirements?&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important:&lt;/strong&gt; This course is intended for individuals who meet Wisconsin's requirements to apply for the Master Plumber examination.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Under Wisconsin law, an applicant for the Master Plumber examination must provide evidence satisfactory to the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) of one of the following:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Journeyman Plumber Path&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp;A specific record of at least 1,000 hours of experience per year for 3 or more years as a licensed journeyman plumber in Wisconsin.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engineering Path:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Graduation in engineering from a school or college approved by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Wisconsin DSPS determines whether an applicant meets the requirements to take the examination. WQAW does not determine an applicant's eligibility.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you are unsure whether you qualify, please contact Wisconsin DSPS before registering for this course.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Applying for Your Wisconsin Master Plumber License &amp;amp; Exam&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;h3&gt;Please Read Before Registering&lt;/h3&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration for this WQAW course does not register you for the Wisconsin Master Plumber examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completion of this course also &lt;strong&gt;does not fulfill Wisconsin's licensing requirements or guarantee eligibility to take the state examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Each applicant is responsible for:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the required Wisconsin DSPS application&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Providing required documentation of education and/or experience&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Paying applicable state fees&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Meeting all licensing requirements&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the state examination process&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;During the course, &lt;strong&gt;Vince Kent will provide guidance on the Wisconsin examination application process&lt;/strong&gt;, including information about completing the required forms and submitting supporting documentation.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Applicants should rely on Wisconsin DSPS for the official determination of eligibility and current licensing requirements.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;Do You Meet the Wisconsin Requirements?&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important:&lt;/strong&gt; This course is intended for individuals who meet Wisconsin's requirements to apply for the Master Plumber examination.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Under Wisconsin law, an applicant for the Master Plumber examination must provide evidence satisfactory to the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) of one of the following:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Journeyman Plumber Path&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp;A specific record of at least 1,000 hours of experience per year for 3 or more years as a licensed journeyman plumber in Wisconsin.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engineering Path:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Graduation in engineering from a school or college approved by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Wisconsin DSPS determines whether an applicant meets the requirements to take the examination. WQAW does not determine an applicant's eligibility.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you are unsure whether you qualify, please contact Wisconsin DSPS before registering for this course.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Applying for Your Wisconsin Master Plumber License &amp;amp; Exam&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;h3&gt;Please Read Before Registering&lt;/h3&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration for this WQAW course does not register you for the Wisconsin Master Plumber examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completion of this course also &lt;strong&gt;does not fulfill Wisconsin's licensing requirements or guarantee eligibility to take the state examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Each applicant is responsible for:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the required Wisconsin DSPS application&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Providing required documentation of education and/or experience&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Paying applicable state fees&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Meeting all licensing requirements&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the state examination process&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;During the course, &lt;strong&gt;Vince Kent will provide guidance on the Wisconsin examination application process&lt;/strong&gt;, including information about completing the required forms and submitting supporting documentation.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;Do You Meet the Wisconsin Requirements?&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important:&lt;/strong&gt; This course is intended for individuals who meet Wisconsin's requirements to apply for the Master Plumber examination.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Under Wisconsin law, an applicant for the Master Plumber examination must provide evidence satisfactory to the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) of one of the following:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Journeyman Plumber Path&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp;A specific record of at least 1,000 hours of experience per year for 3 or more years as a licensed journeyman plumber in Wisconsin.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engineering Path:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Graduation in engineering from a school or college approved by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Wisconsin DSPS determines whether an applicant meets the requirements to take the examination. WQAW does not determine an applicant's eligibility.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you are unsure whether you qualify, please contact Wisconsin DSPS before registering for this course.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Applying for Your Wisconsin Master Plumber License &amp;amp; Exam&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;h3&gt;Please Read Before Registering&lt;/h3&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration for this WQAW course does not register you for the Wisconsin Master Plumber examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completion of this course also &lt;strong&gt;does not fulfill Wisconsin's licensing requirements or guarantee eligibility to take the state examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Each applicant is responsible for:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the required Wisconsin DSPS application&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Providing required documentation of education and/or experience&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Under Wisconsin law, an applicant for the Master Plumber examination must provide evidence satisfactory to the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) of one of the following:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Journeyman Plumber Path&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp;A specific record of at least 1,000 hours of experience per year for 3 or more years as a licensed journeyman plumber in Wisconsin.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engineering Path:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Graduation in engineering from a school or college approved by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Wisconsin DSPS determines whether an applicant meets the requirements to take the examination. WQAW does not determine an applicant's eligibility.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you are unsure whether you qualify, please contact Wisconsin DSPS before registering for this course.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration for this WQAW course does not register you for the Wisconsin Master Plumber examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completion of this course also &lt;strong&gt;does not fulfill Wisconsin's licensing requirements or guarantee eligibility to take the state examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Each applicant is responsible for:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the required Wisconsin DSPS application&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Providing required documentation of education and/or experience&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Paying applicable state fees&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Meeting all licensing requirements&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the state examination process&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;During the course, &lt;strong&gt;Vince Kent will provide guidance on the Wisconsin examination application process&lt;/strong&gt;, including information about completing the required forms and submitting supporting documentation.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Applicants should rely on Wisconsin DSPS for the official determination of eligibility and current licensing requirements.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;Do You Meet the Wisconsin Requirements?&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important:&lt;/strong&gt; This course is intended for individuals who meet Wisconsin's requirements to apply for the Master Plumber examination.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Under Wisconsin law, an applicant for the Master Plumber examination must provide evidence satisfactory to the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) of one of the following:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Journeyman Plumber Path&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp;A specific record of at least 1,000 hours of experience per year for 3 or more years as a licensed journeyman plumber in Wisconsin.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engineering Path:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Graduation in engineering from a school or college approved by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Wisconsin DSPS determines whether an applicant meets the requirements to take the examination. WQAW does not determine an applicant's eligibility.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you are unsure whether you qualify, please contact Wisconsin DSPS before registering for this course.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Applying for Your Wisconsin Master Plumber License &amp;amp; Exam&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;h3&gt;Please Read Before Registering&lt;/h3&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration for this WQAW course does not register you for the Wisconsin Master Plumber examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completion of this course also &lt;strong&gt;does not fulfill Wisconsin's licensing requirements or guarantee eligibility to take the state examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Each applicant is responsible for:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the required Wisconsin DSPS application&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Providing required documentation of education and/or experience&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Paying applicable state fees&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Meeting all licensing requirements&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the state examination process&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;During the course, &lt;strong&gt;Vince Kent will provide guidance on the Wisconsin examination application process&lt;/strong&gt;, including information about completing the required forms and submitting supporting documentation.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Applicants should rely on Wisconsin DSPS for the official determination of eligibility and current licensing requirements.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Additional course dates and virtual meeting information will be provided to registered participants.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Online recordings are included with registration&lt;/strong&gt; so you can review the material while studying outside of class.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;Required Books &amp;amp; Exam Reference Materials&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Participants should obtain the required reference materials &lt;strong&gt;before the start of class&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;The Wisconsin DSPS Master Plumber examination is an &lt;strong&gt;open-book, two-part examination&lt;/strong&gt;, with a passing score of &lt;strong&gt;70%&lt;/strong&gt;. DSPS specifies which reference materials may be brought into the examination.

  &lt;h1&gt;Do You Meet the Wisconsin Requirements?&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important:&lt;/strong&gt; This course is intended for individuals who meet Wisconsin's requirements to apply for the Master Plumber examination.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Under Wisconsin law, an applicant for the Master Plumber examination must provide evidence satisfactory to the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) of one of the following:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Journeyman Plumber Path&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp;A specific record of at least 1,000 hours of experience per year for 3 or more years as a licensed journeyman plumber in Wisconsin.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engineering Path:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Graduation in engineering from a school or college approved by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Wisconsin DSPS determines whether an applicant meets the requirements to take the examination. WQAW does not determine an applicant's eligibility.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration for this WQAW course does not register you for the Wisconsin Master Plumber examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completion of this course also &lt;strong&gt;does not fulfill Wisconsin's licensing requirements or guarantee eligibility to take the state examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Each applicant is responsible for:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the required Wisconsin DSPS application&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Providing required documentation of education and/or experience&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;During the course, &lt;strong&gt;Vince Kent will provide guidance on the Wisconsin examination application process&lt;/strong&gt;, including information about completing the required forms and submitting supporting documentation.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Applicants should rely on Wisconsin DSPS for the official determination of eligibility and current licensing requirements.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;Do You Meet the Wisconsin Requirements?&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important:&lt;/strong&gt; This course is intended for individuals who meet Wisconsin's requirements to apply for the Master Plumber examination.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Under Wisconsin law, an applicant for the Master Plumber examination must provide evidence satisfactory to the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) of one of the following:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Journeyman Plumber Path&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp;A specific record of at least 1,000 hours of experience per year for 3 or more years as a licensed journeyman plumber in Wisconsin.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engineering Path:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Graduation in engineering from a school or college approved by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Wisconsin DSPS determines whether an applicant meets the requirements to take the examination. WQAW does not determine an applicant's eligibility.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you are unsure whether you qualify, please contact Wisconsin DSPS before registering for this course.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Applying for Your Wisconsin Master Plumber License &amp;amp; Exam&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;h3&gt;Please Read Before Registering&lt;/h3&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration for this WQAW course does not register you for the Wisconsin Master Plumber examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completion of this course also &lt;strong&gt;does not fulfill Wisconsin's licensing requirements or guarantee eligibility to take the state examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Each applicant is responsible for:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the required Wisconsin DSPS application&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Providing required documentation of education and/or experience&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Paying applicable state fees&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Meeting all licensing requirements&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the state examination process&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;Do You Meet the Wisconsin Requirements?&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important:&lt;/strong&gt; This course is intended for individuals who meet Wisconsin's requirements to apply for the Master Plumber examination.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Under Wisconsin law, an applicant for the Master Plumber examination must provide evidence satisfactory to the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) of one of the following:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Journeyman Plumber Path&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp;A specific record of at least 1,000 hours of experience per year for 3 or more years as a licensed journeyman plumber in Wisconsin.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engineering Path:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Graduation in engineering from a school or college approved by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Wisconsin DSPS determines whether an applicant meets the requirements to take the examination. WQAW does not determine an applicant's eligibility.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you are unsure whether you qualify, please contact Wisconsin DSPS before registering for this course.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Applying for Your Wisconsin Master Plumber License &amp;amp; Exam&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;h3&gt;Please Read Before Registering&lt;/h3&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration for this WQAW course does not register you for the Wisconsin Master Plumber examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completion of this course also &lt;strong&gt;does not fulfill Wisconsin's licensing requirements or guarantee eligibility to take the state examination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Each applicant is responsible for:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the required Wisconsin DSPS application&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Providing required documentation of education and/or experience&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Paying applicable state fees&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Meeting all licensing requirements&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;p align="left"&gt;Completing the state examination process&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;During the course, &lt;strong&gt;Vince Kent will provide guidance on the Wisconsin examination application process&lt;/strong&gt;, including information about completing the required forms and submitting supporting documentation.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Applicants should rely on Wisconsin DSPS for the official determination of eligibility and current licensing requirements.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Additional course dates and virtual meeting information will be provided to registered participants.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Online recordings are included with registration&lt;/strong&gt; so you can review the material while studying outside of class.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;h1&gt;Required Books &amp;amp; Exam Reference Materials&lt;/h1&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;Participants should obtain the required reference materials &lt;strong&gt;before the start of class&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="left"&gt;The Wisconsin DSPS Master Plumber examination is an &lt;strong&gt;open-book, two-part examination&lt;/strong&gt;, with a passing score of &lt;strong&gt;70%&lt;/strong&gt;. DSPS specifies which reference materials may be brought into the examination.
