FAQs

In most areas, you'll need a licence to perform concreting work, especially if the job value exceeds a certain amount. This ensures you have the qualifications and experience to handle the work safely and properly. Check with your local building authority for specific regulations and thresholds.
The requirements vary by region, but typically you'll need to complete a vocational program like a Certificate III in Concreting. This program equips you with the skills and knowledge for concrete laying, placement, formwork, and reinforcement. Some regions might also consider relevant work experience as a pathway to a restricted licence.
While your state or territory's building authority is a great resource ([your state/territory] building authority + concreting licence), you can also reach out to Educube (ph: 1300 092 997) for assistance. Educube can help you navigate the process, including finding accredited training providers for Certificate III in Concreting programs and understanding the specific requirements in your area.
