Train with some of the best in the business

Going back to the classroom can be a daunting thought; that’s why we run small classes, promote a welcoming environment, and hire trainers who are builders just like you, having gone through the same registration process themselves.

Our classroom sessions cover a lot of information which is why we use a range of teaching techniques to break things up, including interview simulations, interactive sessions, and workshops. While you complete your training, we’ll prepare your application so you have one less thing to worry about.

Many thanks Builder's Registration once again!!! After helping me with obtaining my DBM five years ago BR have helped me to upgrade to a DBU. Hand on heart, I could not have done it without the team at BR. I highly recommend them to anyone that is serious about obtaining their builders license.

FAQs

Read frequently asked questions about our classroom courses.

Do I need a Certificate IV qualification to become a registered builder?

While a Certificate IV in building and construction is beneficial for those taking the course, it is not a requirement. Many registered building practitioners get their licence because they have building work experience, a reference from a registered builder, and can provide evidence of construction projects they have been involved in. Our 60-second pre-approval test is a great place to start to see if you are eligible to join one of our classroom courses.

Where are the classroom courses located?

What happens if I can’t attend every class?

We understand that life can sometimes interfere when we least expect it. When you enrol onto one of our classroom courses, we’ll help you make arrangements if something happens and you can’t attend your classes. We aim to be as flexible as possible so that you can study around your schedule, life commitments, and any unexpected hurdles. If you need to put your training on hold, we can help with that too. Speak to your trainer and we’ll put a plan in place so you can resume your training when you’re ready.
