Step 1/2

What are you after?

Choose your goal and the state or territory where you are applying.

On the tools.

01Your next move

You know the work.
Let’s get it on paper.

The forms, the licence classes, the evidence. We help make sense of it, so your application becomes a job you can get done.

  1. 01

    Step up to builder.

    Builder licence or registration

    Already working as a carpenter, supervisor or builder? Get help choosing and preparing your application.

  2. 02

    Work for yourself.

    A licence for your trade

    Ready to go out on your own? We check the licence you need and help get the paperwork sorted.

  3. 03

    Take your licence interstate.

    Interstate and mutual recognition

    Moving your work to another state? We check whether your existing licence can be recognised.

    Recognition of prior learning (RPL)

    Years on the job but no certificate? We help you prepare your evidence for an RTO to assess.

03How it works

Your skills.
Our support.

  1. 01

    Know what to apply for

    Tell us what you do now and what you are trying to move into. We check the licence or registration that fits.

  2. 02

    Find out what is missing

    We review the qualifications, projects, licences and referees you already have, then tell you what else is needed.

  3. 03

    Get the application ready to lodge

    We help complete the forms, prepare the supporting documents and check the details before you submit them.

The regulator decides licence and registration applications. An RTO decides qualification outcomes.

What to expect

04Proper preparation

The details tell your part.

A good application connects the job to your responsibilities. We help you explain what you did and bring the supporting records together.

05Before you start

Clear from the start.

What does the next-step check cost?

The initial enquiry is free. If BLS can help, we explain the work involved and provide a quote. Regulator, RTO and other third-party fees are separate unless your proposal says otherwise.

Do I need to buy RPL or a course?

Not automatically. We start with the licence or registration you need, then check the qualifications you already hold. RPL or training may help where there is a genuine qualification gap.

What happens after I send my enquiry?

BLS reviews your answers, checks the likely application and explains how we may be able to help. The check is an enquiry, not an eligibility decision or a full assessment.

Less doubt.
More clarity.

Start with your state, your goal and the experience you already have.
