ABOUT THE PLUMBING LICENCE

The field of Plumbing is a crucial part of the thriving and constantly growing building and construction industry we have here in Australia. It is part of both the residential and commercial side of work, and the outlook is optimistic that there will still be a need for individuals with recognised qualifications in Plumbing throughout the country for the foreseeable future. As Plumbing is a specialist skill, it requires comprehensive training in various fields. Although this is traditionally gained through a combination of formal education and hands-on practical experience through an accredited training institution, there is the opportunity to gain a Plumbing license through RPL. RPL is short for the Recognition of Prior Learning, and at Skills Wave Global, we can help you gain a Plumbing license of this kind if you have the relevant experience and skills. A career as a plumber typically starts with an on-job apprenticeship that leads to the individual becoming a journeyman to a master plumber. A Plumbing license gives potential employers the guarantee that you have the qualifications, experience and skills required to conduct work as a plumber. It highlights that you can work in this specialist area of construction and building work, and it helps to build your reputation in your professional trade. Suppose you try to conduct work as a plumber without the appropriate license and qualifications. In that case, you could be sanctioned with fines or penalties, depending on your state or territory. These penalties will undoubtedly affect your attempts to gain work and your Plumbing license further down the line.
