I don't think you have to be certified by th IA to start installing irrigation, but check with you state or county agencies to see. You might need special licensing by your state. Check also plumbing codes as to which type of back flow the state requires and who and how it is supposed to be installed. Go to the IA site and look at their educational literature. The books are relatively inexpensive. Start with something basic. And yes, you can't take the exam without the 3 years experience. Don't let this deter you, everyone who started in this business was not IA certified.
If you have further questions feel free to PM me.
Here in Maryland all you need Is a Home Improvement licence, it covers everything from decks and additions to irrigation.
