  • In the state of Kentucky, licensed Master & Journeyman plumbers are required to have 6 total hours of continuing education.

 

KY plumbing license renewal is pretty straightforward, but it’s due once a year so you can’t slack on it. Here are the details you need to know to keep your Kentucky plumbing license active.

 

How do I renew my Kentucky plumber license?

It’s a three-step process to renew a master plumbing license in KY. The same goes for journeyman plumbers. Here are the steps to complete for KY plumbing license renewal:

 
#1: Complete the required KY continuing education

State code dictates that you need to take six hours of continuing education each year, whether you’re a journeyman or you want to renew a master plumbing license in KY. 

Specifically, your continuing education courses need to cover one of the following topics:

  • Business
  • The Kentucky State Plumbing Code
  • Job safety
  • Plumbing trade-specific subject matter
