Yes, a person learns his respective job, then takes a State test and approves them to be licensed. The State deems them competent to be certified. It's not just something someone calls themself because they want to.

A master plumber needs to have a certain amount of time as a journeyman and then take a State test to become a Master Plumber. You must have a Masters licence to own a business in most states. Some States are including a business class to be a business owner. Too many people going out of business due to not knowing the paperwork end of running a business.

You can kind of go with Vincents answer although there is no minimum years of experience to go on. It's a Nation wide thing.
A journeyman has to have a minimum set of hours in, then he can go for the Masters rating but, he can only do this twice in one year, then he has to wait for a period of time before doing it again. And, it cost a bundle for the test.
Usually if you work for a good company, the pay rate increases also. A Master is the top of the line or, is suppose to be although I've had some doubts about some guys.

It is a skill rating originating with the guilds of medieval europe.
The ratings are apprentice, journeyman, master.
Unions used these levels for pay scales based on skill level.
Generally a 'Masters` license is required for the proprietor of a contracting firm in the specialties mentioned.
