Are you a Training Organisation or Do you issue qualifications?
We are not a training organization, nor do we issue qualifications. But to apply for your trade or builders license you will need the right qualification.
We're able to assist by pointing you to the right training organisation to complete your qualification. To ensure a smoother process we may collect documentation on behalf of the training organisation.
The qualification obtained will contribute to your license application.
Please keep in mind that for Builder License applications, you will need a relevant qualification/s and experience to apply for your builder's license.

Does Licensing Advice give me a license?
No, each state in Australia has a different government body that issues licenses. We're here to help you increase your chances of having a successful outcome as much as possible.
-
Can I apply for a license myself?
Yes, you definitely can.
Some people naturally have the ability to sail through the licensing process without any assistance or advice. We're here to assist those that need the assistance and expertise to get them over the line.
We always recommend speaking with one of our experts first for free before you apply, one conversation can make the world of a difference.
-
Do you offer a guarantee on my license application?
Unfortunately, the only guarantees in life are death and taxes.
We're here to use our expertise to help paint your application in the best possible light and put your best foot forward, ultimately it is up to each state's regulator to make the final decision. There are no guarantees on what the regulator's decision will be, but we will do our best to help get you there. In the event your application is unsuccessful, we will give you the necessary steps to ensure you're successful the next time you apply or potentially challenge the decision.
-
Do you assist with licensing outside of Australia?
No, we only service Australia at this point in time.
Although, we may offer this in the future.
-
Is a qualification a license?
This is incorrect, a qualification and a license are very different.
You will need a qualification to apply for a license. You will need a license if you run your own business and invoice over a certain amount (which varies from state to state).
