Apprentices in Vermont — not yet established
No specialist apprentice card established - plumbing-side apprenticeship rides the Plumbers Examining Board, and the P2 heating-specialist class is a flat limited license.
The master pipefitter license
Yes - Vermont issues the Master Plumber license through the Vermont Plumber's Examining Board (Division of Fire Safety). It takes the plumber-ladder route - a Vermont journeyman plumber license held at least 12 months.

Vermont's P2 Heating System Specialist is a flat license with no tiers, and the plumber ladder supersedes it - so the master tier for hydronic fitter work is the master plumber card.
Cómo traer tu licencia de otro estado
Vermont's plumbing chapter carries an endorsement statute that reaches masters, journeymen AND SPECIALISTS from any US jurisdiction — the open question is mapping: almost no state issues a card called 'heating specialist,' so whether your fitter-shaped license endorses into Vermont's class is the Board's call. Ask the Division of Fire Safety before planning, and get the answer in writing.
¿Puedes trabajar mientras está en trámite?
Not established — no temporary or provisional permit with an implementing rule exists in this chapter. Do not start on silence; supervised entry under a licensed operation is the lawful lane.
El examen y el horario
Vermont licenses hydronic heating work through its PLUMBING chapter: the HEATING SYSTEM SPECIALIST (class P2) covers installation, replacement and repair of residential, industrial and commercial hydronic space heating — radiant and solar included — and the journeyman or master PLUMBER card covers all of that specialist scope without needing the specialist license.
The specialist class's own hour and exam standards live in the current Vermont Plumbing Rules — confirm them with the Division of Fire Safety when you file, and note the scope line says hydronic SPACE HEATING: pure process piping outside space heating showed no Vermont card at all.

No specialist apprentice card is established — plumbing-side apprenticeship rides the Plumbers' Examining Board, and the P2 specialist class is a flat limited license with no tiers of its own.
La situación local
None — the Division of Fire Safety administers statewide.
Si quieres trabajar por cuenta propia
Vermont's work-notice system runs through the licensed operation — the fee schedule literally prices notices per hydronic unit — so verify whose license anchors the notice before staffing. A master plumber may run the whole scope; a P2 specialist runs hydronic space heating only.
