§ 11906 Journeyman Certificate Renewal

You can only get a journeyman’s certificate if you already had one from the director in the last two years, unless you’re coming straight from an apprenticeship.

Key Takeaways

  • •You must have a journeyman’s certificate that was issued within the last two calendar years.
  • •The only exception is if you are currently holding an apprentice certificate.
  • •The director is the one who issues the journeyman’s certificate.

Example

Maria finished her apprenticeship and wants a journeyman’s certificate, but she never had one before.

Because she isn’t an apprentice certificate holder and hasn’t had a journeyman’s certificate in the past two years, the law says she can’t get the new certificate yet.
