Finding the right career path after leaving education isn’t always straightforward. Some can drift along for a few years without too many qualifications, having not really enjoyed school, before the penny drops with the realisation that there is something perfect to aim for with some hard graft and ambition.
It’s not going to be easy for anyone to earn good money, otherwise, everyone would be onto it. But being in a position which sees the attained services always being in demand is something certainly worth aiming towards, especially when there is specialist help waiting to assist and welcome those who make the choice. Those who choose to become eligible to get a builder license will be set up for life.
- Australians will always require homes and companies’ new premises, so there is no danger of the trade dying out. However, to guarantee that the highest standards are maintained, it means that only those that pass certain criteria are allowed by law to start putting up structures. Nobody wants to move somewhere dangerous, and these stipulations safeguard safety.
- The path for those wanting to make the grade depends slightly on which state they live in, meaning that once passed they will either hold a registration or license, but it basically requires plenty of study and the gaining of experience among those already holding the paperwork. It may lead to enough time and money being put together to enjoy travelling and exploring nature.
- Those in Victoria looking to qualify will end with a registration and can make a good start by contacting the Victoria Building Association (VBA) as well as the Housing Industry Association (HIA) which have represented residential buildings across the nation for getting on for three-quarters of a century. Both bodies will issue applicants with the best advice and help them along their way through their powerful membership association that protects the integrity of the industry and ensures that those who belong to the body maintain the highest standards that they are so proud of.
- Experience is required before the licensing body is remotely interested. Those seeking registration as a limited domestic builder need at least a couple of years under their belt of practical experience, while those wanting an unlimited registration will require three years. The experience must include dealing with quotes and contracts, as well as solving issues, working with others, and obtaining approvals to obtain a rounded knowledge. Some relaxing downtime may be spent in a beautiful city park.
- Qualifications are required as many look to take the course in CPC40120 Certificate IV in Building and Construction which will prove sufficient rather than having to obtain a degree or diploma which takes up a lot of time. The experts will guide anyone who isn’t quite sure so that they can get their registration and become a proud member of the industry.
Receiving registration as a fully qualified and experienced domestic builder takes a lot of time and effort, but those who are successful are set for life.
