Utah licenses the construction trades through the Division of Professional Licensing (DOPL). Electricians and plumbers each hold an individual DOPL license, from apprentice up to master. HVAC is different: Utah licenses it at the contractor level, not as an individual technician license.
The guides below summarize what each trade requires, with a link to the official source for every requirement. Rules change, so check the linked source before you apply, and contact DOPL with questions about your own situation.
