How to Get Your Licence

Each Australian state has its’ own requirements for licensing as a builder or trades-person, but the best place to start is by getting qualified.

Certificate IV in Building and Construction can help you get your builder’s licence in the NSW, Queensland, South Australia, ACT, Northern Territory, and Tasmania. In Victoria and Western Australia, MIBT recommends obtaining CPC50210 Diploma of Building and Construction (Building).

MIBT is a recognised training partner for a wide range of funded skills training programs both State and Federal.

In all states it is important that you have experience in the building industry. You can have your existing experience recognised through a process called Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). You will also learn new skills from some of Australia’s most experienced builders and trainers.
