That all depends where you live in the world. But in South Africa, you have to have at least ten years Plumbing experience, five years municipality experience and have an N3 plumbing trade certificate and a very good understanding of plumbing law is also a very crucial requirement.

YES, as a 'PLUMBING INSPECTOR' you do need to be at least a journeyman plumber.

in certain cases (rural) you need to be a public health official with sub-standard training in inspections.
