FIND YOUR TRADE · QUALIFICATIONS & LICENSING
Find your trade. Plan your next step.
We help with trade qualification / RPL, TRA skills assessment and Queensland QBCC licence applications. Start with the work you do, then confirm the relevant qualification, assessment and licensing requirements.
A qualification is not a licence
This is a qualification and training reference, not a list of licences. Licensing and accepted qualifications depend on the work scope, applicant role and state or territory. A training statement does not replace a required licence.

These are units of competency, not full Certificate III qualifications. Successful assessment generally leads to a Statement of Attainment. This does not replace a required licence or the White Card itself.

Chinese titles are provided for reference; use the English title and code to identify a qualification. Confirm current status, enrolment, specialisations and licensing recognition with the training provider and regulator. Listing a trade does not mean we handle every related licence; we will confirm the service scope during your enquiry.
