The North Dakota Journeyman Plumber license is a statewide credential administered through the North Dakota State Plumbing Board, whose office is in Bismarck. It is intended for plumbers who have completed their apprenticeship or supervised field experience and want to work independently on plumbing systems without holding the master-level license. The Board also licenses sewer and water professionals, water conditioning professionals, and certified backflow assembly testers, and it publishes separate application, renewal, exam, and continuing education pages for each category. Candidates apply for licensure online, then schedule a licensing exam through the Board's online scheduling system; the Board notes that exams are offered at various locations across the state, and its published Bismarck sessions run 8:30 am to 1:30 pm on the listed dates. The ND Journeyman Plumber case studies are 5 cases and about 3,160 words.
