DO NOT STAPLE DOCUMENTS TOGETHER
Prometric is no longer providing services for any electrical, mechanical or plumbing exams. Per state statutes, the City of Leavenworth will accept ICC and/or IAPMO exam scores. We believe these companies do not require a sponsorship. First-time applicants for journeyman and master licenses will be required to show proof of experience per state statutes before licenses will be issued.
Please see links below for those sites.

For IAPMO (plumbing and mechanical testing) please visit: https://www.iapmo.org/
