Leaning the basics of plumbing is not difficult. The internet and YouTube have a lot of way to learn the basics. I know a few successful plumbers and the best way to learn the basics of plumbing would be to become an apprentice or just work for a professional plumber. My son worked with a handyman service one summer and learned a lot of valuable skills in a short amount of time. In my personal experience as a home owner, I learned a lot about basic plumbing by just trying to fix small problems myself. My father in-law is a handyman so I learned a lot from him over the years. But, he would always instruct me what to do and then I would go do it. Even if I didn't get a right the first time it was the best way to learn. Plumbing is something that you just have to physically do to learn and gain experience.

It takes anywhere from two to five years to work independently as a licensed plumber. You must work for an additional two years to advance to master technician, meaning you'll need anywhere from 7-10 years of on-the-job experience before you can claim the title.
