Already building on-site? Choose RPL to formalise the skills you already use, or use hybrid if you have gaps.

Starting out or moving up from another field? Study online, self-paced, with support while you build experience.

Keep your job while you qualify. Study online, or fast-track via RPL if you have experience.

Complete a quick eligibility check and we’ll confirm the best pathway for you, RPL if experienced, or study or hybrid if you’re newer.

Our qualified assessors will guide you through what evidence is needed, such as resume, references, photos, work examples, certificates, and any overseas qualifications.

An assessor will run a competency conversation and may request additional evidence or an observation if needed. If gaps show up, we’ll guide you through the next steps.

Once assessment is complete, you’ll receive a nationally recognised qualification issued by the issuing RTO. Builder licensing pathways vary by state and may require additional criteria, including experience.
These are the core competencies behind site supervision, compliance, contracts, and estimating.
