After being an apprentice, a person became a journeyman, who could earn money in a trade, but was not a master and could not join a guild. The journeyman created what was called a masterpiece, and submitted it to a guild for consideration. If it was accepted, then he was a master and could join the guild.

How was Roman Engineers Educated?
First of all a man had to have a good basic education and if he were adept at math and/or logic, he would learn the basics of his trade, as most Romans did, by being an apprentice to a master of whatever craft he wanted. He would most likely join a guild and be considered for jobs through the guild. (Just about all Roman professions from flute players to funeral directors had guilds)
What was the name given to the groups that protected and set standards for merchants and crafts people in medieval towns?
In Medieval England, tradesmen in the same craft joined a local guild. This guild acted like a modern union in many ways. All tradesmen were required to join their respective guilds. The guilds also provided training for apprentices who were accepted into their programs.
What were medieval guilds?
1st AnswerAn Association of individuals who share professional interests. Guilds were formed to protect members, set prices, and standardize quality. Notable guilds in the medieval ages are merchants guilds, the masons guild, and the often overlooked universities, which are a form of guilds. Guild members often wore certain colours and cuts of clothing to identify themselves. This is where the traditional gown worn in university graduation ceremonies comes from.2nd AnswerThe earliest medieval guilds may have begun with Roman guilds that survived into the Middle Ages. Among these were the masons' and glass makers' guilds. A document of Verona in the seventh century refers to a soap makers' guild in that city. Guilds provided protection from competition for members, regulated the crafts they represented, and provided a well defined path for new members to join. They also provided minimum standards for their trades, and in this way benefited their customers to some degree.The particulars of these things varied quite a lot. The usual path for new members was to go through a series of stages starting as apprentices. After apprenticeship, they were permitted to practice a trade independently as journeymen, but were not considered masters. A masterwork, submitted to the guild and accepted, earned them the title of master and full guild membership. This was the usual path, but there were others, including being born into or purchasing memberships in some guilds, notably as merchants.Guilds banded together, especially when they were in the same town. Towns and cities of guilds also banded together for mutual support, and the greatest such organization was the Hanseatic League, which had its own armed forces and rivaled nations.Guilds often controlled local economies. Sometimes groups of guilds controlled the politics of a town or city. This was true in some of the the Italian medieval communes, which were city states.
