I'm the plumber for the maintenance department at a very large casino/hotel in Las Vegas. I've been doing this for 10 years now. I never went to school for it and I only worked under a professional plumber for under 1 year before he left and all the responsibility fell into my lap. I had learned everything hands on by myself.
I have a lot of experience, but all of it in house. Granted, it's a very large property and I've had extensive experience with a variety of plumbing issues, mostly finding leaks and repairing copper tubing. As for codes, I know very little. I replace existing plumbing with something exactly the same or something similar.
I was wondering if I should do online schooling for plumbing. Is it worth it? Someone told me it costs around $700 and it takes around a year to get certified.
