I'm also a local 38 plumber but used to be in local 483 sprinkler fitter member I would suggest you goto laney collage and take the basic math class wich is free and that should get you through the math part all the other stuff I'd basic common sence crap... Goodluck trades are great careers if your a hands on kind of person

Best way is to get grandfathered in meaning you know someone in the trade you want to get into and they know someone way up there and work out a deal to get you in but realistically just choosing a trade you would enjoy learning and doing, taking the enrollment test with a high grade will usually do it
