The course provides organized study guidance, plumbing-focused review, practice-oriented preparation, calculation exercises, and reference-navigation support. Candidates can work through the material while using the same listed books needed for productive open-book exam practice.

Application Service is included to help organize the Mississippi contractor licensing application process. This service supports the administrative side of pursuing the license while the candidate prepares for the applicable examinations. Examination eligibility, licensing approval, and license issuance remain subject to completion of the applicable requirements.

Package Cost: $1,145

The $250 deposit is refundable when the complete rental book set is returned within one year in similar condition. Please allow up to 15 business days for Ultimate Rental Package book orders.

Exam Details

The Mississippi Plumbing contractor examination evaluates knowledge of plumbing systems, installation requirements, code navigation, jobsite safety, trade calculations, and practical plumbing principles. Candidates should prepare with both field experience and familiarity with the listed references.

The International Plumbing Code, 2021 Edition, is the primary technical plumbing reference included in this package. It covers plumbing fixtures, water-distribution systems, sanitary drainage, venting, traps, interceptors, piping materials, joints, testing, inspections, storm drainage, and related installation requirements.

Plumbing code questions may require candidates to identify an approved material, determine a required pipe size, locate a fixture requirement, evaluate a drainage condition, review a venting provision, or interpret a technical table. Some questions may involve direct code lookup, while others may require practical knowledge and calculation skills.

Water-distribution preparation may involve pipe sizing, demand, pressure, materials, valves, backflow protection, service connections, and installation requirements. Sanitary-drainage preparation may involve fixture units, pipe sizing, slopes, cleanouts, branches, stacks, building drains, building sewers, and testing.

Venting questions may involve vent sizes, developed lengths, connections, wet venting, common venting, circuit venting, air-admittance methods, and prohibited arrangements. Fixture questions may involve installation, clearances, supports, accessibility, water supply, drainage connections, and required quantities.

The Code of Federal Regulations, 29 CFR Part 1926, supports preparation involving federal construction-safety requirements. Plumbing contractors may need to review excavation, trenches, protective systems, ladders, scaffolds, personal protective equipment, tools, material handling, electrical hazards, fall protection, and other workplace responsibilities.

Mathematics for Plumbers and Pipefitters supports preparation involving measurements, fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios, geometry, pipe calculations, offsets, areas, volumes, pressures, conversions, and practical plumbing applications. Candidates should be comfortable working through calculations accurately and efficiently.

The NASCLA Mississippi Business and Law guide supports preparation involving contractor licensing, business organization, estimating, bidding, contracts, project management, financial management, taxes, labor responsibilities, insurance, safety, risk management, and contractor operations.

The plumbing trade examination and the Mississippi Law and Business Management examination address different areas of responsibility. The trade examination focuses on plumbing systems, code requirements, safety, and calculations. The Business and Law examination focuses on the legal, financial, and administrative responsibilities of operating a contracting company.

The online course helps organize these subjects into manageable study areas. Candidates can review plumbing code topics, complete practice-oriented questions, work through trade-mathematics exercises, and develop familiarity with the highlighted and tabbed references.

Open Book Test

Mississippi contractor examinations administered through PSI are open book. Candidates are responsible for bringing the permitted references and following the current rules for approved titles, editions, highlighting, tabs, markings, notes, and supplemental materials.

An open-book examination still requires detailed preparation. Access to the correct references does not help when a candidate cannot identify the appropriate book, locate an effective index term, interpret a code requirement, or complete a calculation within the available testing time.

The included rental books are professionally highlighted and tabbed to support efficient navigation. Highlighting identifies important code provisions, safety requirements, formulas, definitions, tables, and contractor business topics. Tabs divide the books into major chapters and frequently reviewed subject areas.

Candidates should study every prepared tab before test day. Learn what each tab identifies, review the surrounding material, and practice moving between the index, table of contents, chapter headings, definitions, tables, and illustrations.

Questions involving fixtures, water distribution, sanitary drainage, venting, traps, piping materials, testing, or storm drainage may lead to the International Plumbing Code. Candidates should practice locating information by chapter, definition, table, fixture type, piping system, and index term.

Construction-safety questions may require 29 CFR Part 1926. Plumbing candidates should become familiar with sections involving excavation, trench protection, access and egress, ladders, scaffolds, personal protective equipment, tools, and material handling.

Mathematical questions may require Mathematics for Plumbers and Pipefitters. Candidates should practice fractions, decimals, ratios, conversions, geometry, areas, volumes, pipe measurements, offsets, pressures, and related calculations.

Business and law questions may require the NASCLA Mississippi guide. Candidates should become familiar with sections involving licensing, estimating, contracts, project management, financial management, taxes, employment, insurance, safety, and risk management.

Practice related search terms because the wording used in an examination question may differ from the terminology used in a reference. A sanitary-drainage question may require searches involving fixture units, branches, stacks, building drains, cleanouts, slopes, or building sewers.

Complete timed reference exercises using the full book set. Identify the main subject, select the appropriate reference, locate an effective search term, and read enough surrounding material to confirm that the provision applies.

Licensing Steps

1. Confirm the appropriate classification. Determine that the Mississippi Plumbing classification matches the plumbing services the business intends to provide.
2. Select the qualifying party. Identify the owner, officer, executive staff member, or responsible managing employee who will qualify the company and complete the required examinations.
3. Document plumbing experience. Organize detailed project information involving water distribution, sanitary drainage, venting, fixtures, piping, installation, supervision, or project management.
4. Choose the applicant structure. Determine whether the application will be submitted by an individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or another accepted business entity.
5. Prepare the contractor application. Gather the requested business, ownership, qualifying-party, experience, financial, insurance, reference, and supporting information.
6. Submit the application. Send the completed filing to the Mississippi State Board of Contractors for review.
7. Respond to application requests. Provide missing documents, corrections, explanations, or additional information requested during the review process.
8. Receive examination eligibility. After the qualifying party is approved to test, follow the examination registration and scheduling instructions.
9. Schedule the examinations. Select an available examination date and authorized testing location.
10. Prepare with the course and rental books. Review plumbing code, construction safety, trade mathematics, contractor business topics, and reference navigation.
11. Complete timed practice. Work through plumbing questions, calculations, and book-lookup exercises under structured conditions.
12. Take the required examinations. Bring acceptable identification and only the references and materials permitted under current testing rules.
13. Complete outstanding requirements. Submit any remaining documents, corrections, or supporting records requested during final review.
14. Receive licensing approval. Passing the examinations does not automatically issue a contractor license. The complete application and supporting documentation must also be approved.
15. Maintain the license. After issuance, the contractor is responsible for renewals, insurance, business records, taxes, permits, safety obligations, and ongoing compliance.

State Requirements

The Mississippi State Board of Contractors administers the applicable contractor licensing process. Applicants should select the classification that accurately reflects the plumbing work their business plans to perform.

The qualifying party must have a relationship with the applicant that satisfies the applicable requirements. Depending on the company structure, the qualifying party may be an owner, officer, executive staff member, or responsible managing employee.

The contractor application may require business-registration records, ownership information, qualifying-party documentation, detailed project experience, references, financial information, insurance records, and other supporting materials.

Application information should be accurate and consistent across business filings, ownership documents, experience records, and supporting materials. Missing or conflicting information can delay the application review process.

Mississippi contractor applicants must complete the applicable examination requirements. The plumbing trade examination addresses technical knowledge, while the Mississippi Law and Business Management examination addresses contractor business and legal responsibilities.

Passing the examinations is one part of the licensing process. The applicant must also satisfy the application, documentation, experience, financial, insurance, and final approval requirements.

Plumbing contractors may also be responsible for local permits, inspections, adopted plumbing codes, utility requirements, employee safety, tax registrations, insurance, and project-specific approvals.

Local plumbing requirements may differ by project location. Contractors should confirm the applicable permitting, inspection, and code requirements before beginning work.
