Why do I need to be licensed?

To work as a builder or tradesperson in Australia you must have a licence. One step in the process of gaining your licence or registration is to complete training, which has been approved by the licensing body in your state. Give us a call on 1300 270 539 or email us for more information about licensing options.

What if I am worried about studying, being back in a classroom, doing homework and the possibility of failing the course?

Let us reassure you that adult education is very different to school. Here at Construction Trade Qualifications (CTQ) we believe that a positive educational experience only exists when the training environment is flexible and accommodates each individual’s learner needs, fears and requirements. We will be there with you every step of the way; if you require support, extra time with the trainer or just some reassurance, we will be there! See our Student Handbook on the Student Support page for details about the support we offer.
