Provide evidence of current/previous licence/trade/supervisory certificates

Your evidence must show “all-round structural” experience. You must provide valid and sufficient documented evidence of your practical “hands-on” experience in the Building & Construction industry. That is, evidence that you have physically carried out several construction roles, not just a specific trade.

You will be asked to provide Statements of Practical Experience and References from Employers, Contractors, etc

The aim is for you to provide enough relevant evidence to provide the licensing authority with a solid profile of your level of skill and understanding of construction and building. 

Provide References

The relevant forms are provided online with a list of questions and answers that will need to be completed by each referee.  You may need to include some character references (these are written statements from friends or associates involved with the construction industry, who will vouch for your ethics and character as a person and tradesperson).
