It is time to end that nonsense and let people have access to those jobs without a state bureaucrat in the way.
It takes 4 years working under a licensed plumber to get your license. 4 years to hook up pipes!
Some occupations like electricians I can see. It's very dangerous and mistakes in installation can kill others.

A bad plumber can wreck your entire house. Let's keep close tabs on them.
I'm not sure what good licensed florists are though other than a revenue stream.

This is true. Which is why I think a display of competency that does not necessarily require official training would be best. One can learn DAMN NEAR ANYTHING outside of a vocational school or university, but we require a piece of paper from a protected monopoly for it to 'really count'.
