    Overall a good experience.
    Steph has been easy to deal with and helpful along the process, thanks to her I could successfully obtain a certificate 3.
    Just keep in mind that the person collecting your informations and proofs might not be in the same professional activity sector than you, which can sometimes be a bit frustrating when having to explain specific tasks or videos.

    I'm so thankful to Qualify Me! RPL for helping me gain my Diploma in Early Childhood Education. The entire process was smooth and straightforward, with clear guidance on the evidence I needed to provide.

    I want to give a huge thank you to Kyle, who was absolutely amazing throughout the whole journey. From the very beginning, she was kind, supportive, and incredibly professional. She always took the time to explain things clearly, followed up with me regularly, and made sure I never felt overwhelmed or lost. Kyle’s communication was always prompt and encouraging—she truly went above and beyond to ensure I stayed on track.

    What I appreciated most was how genuinely she cared about helping me succeed. Her positivity, patience, and dedication made a big difference and turned what could have been a stressful process into an enjoyable and empowering experience.

    I'm beyond grateful to both Kyle and Qualify Me! RPL. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to have their qualifications recognised.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Have questions? We’re here to help.

    General

    • You will require a builders licence in most states across Australia. This ensures that you comply with regulations and standards. For example, in NSW, builders need a licence to perform any residential building and construction work, including strata, valued at more than $5000 in labour and materials. Holding a building licence also ensures you meet the requirements of any regulating bodies which will avoid you incurring penalties or fines. You can also legally market your services and initiate contracts/tenders, both of which ensure you earn more than unlicensed builders.

    • To become a licensed builder (or any construction industry), you need to meet the minimum requirements in your state. For example, in NSW, here are the steps to becoming a licensed builder:

      1. Complete a building/construction qualification with Qualify Me.
      2. Undertake construction induction training and obtain a White Card.
      3. Apply to Fair Trading NSW for your building and construction licence.
