How to join…….

 

Journeymen traditionally have at least 5 years experience in their specialty.  Newly organized journeymen are required to pass certification exams in their trade specialty.  A journeyman may be required to take a placement exam to determine their level of expertise.  All journeymen are required to recertify every five years and most are constantly  taking upgrade classes and getting additional certifications.  Local 364 is fortunate to have our regional training facility on site.  This facility offers welding certifications, brazing and Med Gas certifications, X-ray technology and a full course offering for the Pipe trades.
