Requirements for becoming a licenced builder vary from state to state, and depend on what kind of building licence you are after. For example, in Queensland there are different licence categories for residential building and commercial building.
No matter which state you live in, or which licence you need, you need to get the relevant qualification and experience.
That's why studying on the job is so important. We recommend doing on-site training using our on-line system as the best way to get licenced. You can study when and where it suits you, on any work-site, at any time. You don't need to wait for classes, or even travel.
