This page provides information about the all-important plumbing test and exam…all the other pages on this site concentrate on plumbing schools, colleges and workshops that deliver and guide you through a course to help you qualify as a plumber. However, the test you will take is a key part of any course and you need to study your course materials and reference books to help you learn the theory that will form the basis of the test.
