How to Apply
Lodge your application at the Territory Business Centre (TBC) in person, or submit it via email or standard mail.
The Australian building and construction industry is highly regulated, which results in the highest quality of international standards. The above processes outline how you can obtain your builder’s licence by state.
It’s good to remember that other options do exist. Experienced individuals need not be required to spend any unnecessary time in the classroom.
Recognition of Prior Learning provides a legitimate opportunity to reward individuals who have obtained the required skills and experience by means of providing non-classroom-based evidence towards meeting the outcomes demanded by the relevant qualification.
ITEC Australia can help you understand how RPL can make available the qualifications you need to push your career to the next level.
