Nationally Recognised and Accredited Certificate
Our Certificate IV in Building and Construction (CPC40120) qualification is recognised across Australia.
Builder’s Licences are only recognised in the state you registered with, so you will need to apply for a new licence if you want to work in a new state.
However, you will not need to repeat the Certificate IV in Building and Construction, since the qualification is accredited no matter where you choose to work in the country.
