Plumber apprentice hour log template for Iowa
Iowa plumber apprentices must hold an apprentice license from the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, & Licensing and enroll in a US DOL-registered apprenticeship program, supervised at a 1:1 ratio to journeypersons unless a collective bargaining agreement specifies otherwise. No specific total on-the-job training hours are detailed in the sources, though journeyperson licensure requires 4 years of practical experience in a registered program. Programs are governed by the Iowa Plumbing and Mechanical Systems Board under state licensing rules referencing federal DOL standards.
