What are other's saying?
I cannot express my gratitude enough to you, before, during and after my training to make a wrong situation right (so to speak) If it wasn't for my persistence, your references and 'can do attitude', I would not be where I am today. Realistically it was only my licence status and formal qualifications holding me back, and the amount of work we have taken on since has far exceeded any expectation I had and it really has turned out to be a great success!
David S.
Thanks for all your help in the builders course. The BSA have sent through the licence. You have helped me achieve another life goal.
Dan F.
I would like to thank CTI for having such a talented trainer to help me through my units and I would also like to thank the admin staff for all their help. I am so grateful!
Mohamad T.
I have completed 2 courses (and am now going to do a 3rd) under CTI. CTI continued to support me on completion of my courses and went above and beyond any obligation that that was required. They offered all assistance that was available at their disposal to ensure that I was treated fairly and justly in regards to licencing and government departments. I cannot express my gratitude enough to Graeme, Leigh, Teresa and all the staff at CTI and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending anybody that requires assistance in certification and training programs.
Brendan H.
I would firstly like to thank you for your swift response and secondly like to thank CTI for understanding. Truth be told, I am a little overwhelmed and extremely thankful and believe this is a testament to how professional you are as a company and will definitely be recommending you to any colleagues in the future.

Restricted Builder Licensing –

Who is this course for?
This course is designed for people who have many years experience in the construction industry, and would like to gain a specific Builders Licence Type but not complete the full Certificate IV in Building & Construction Qualification. This course meets the requirement of the QBCC for the relevant licence types. Although there are no official entry requirements, it is recommended to be currently working in the building industry and have access to relevant building documentation, plans and resources required by licenced builders.
How does it work?
This course is self-paced. Meaning you can work through it at your own pace to work around your schedule. There are 16 units in total for the full course and we would normally split the course up into 4 stages of 4 units. The units come express posted to your home or office, one stage at a time. You work through the learning material and assessments and if you are unsure about anything, you can call your trainer to talk through it. Once you have completed the first stage, then post it back to us and we post out the second stage to you. Simple!
When you have finished all the units and your trainer has marked them all competent, we will post our your certificate in the mail to you. Then you take this certificate to the QBCC with your builder’s licence application.
How long does it take?
Depending on the licence type and the number of units involved, most people take about 3 months to complete it all although we do allow up to a year. But if you’re in a big rush, you can do it as quickly as you like.
What does it cost?
The cost will vary depending on the licence type you are pursuing and the amount of units you are required to complete. For the full course, the total cost of the course is $4300.00
