How to Get a Carpentry Licence in VIC

Obtaining a carpentry licence in Victoria is a significant step for professionals at any stage in their carpentry careers. Whether you’re a seasoned local carpenter or a recent graduate from a carpentry course, this licence is pivotal. It formally recognises your skills, accounts for your experience and technical knowledge, and opens up opportunities for job changes and to fill industry gaps.

Carpenters are the master craftsmen of the construction world, shaping the bones of a building. They construct, install, and repair wooden structures and fixtures. Their precision and attention to detail are vital for ensuring the integrity of a structure.

Upcoming Legislative Changes: the Victorian government is implementing a phased approach to mandate qualifications for carpenters seeking trade licences. This development emphasises the importance of formal training in this critical trade.
