Master Builders offers assistance throughout the entire registration process see below for further information.
There are many classes of registration that builders can apply for, including Domestic or Commercial, Limited or Unlimited. The process that the VBA will require applicants to go through is largely the same. The steps below therefor apply to all applicants.
However the VBA will focus on different skills and experience depending on the class of registration. Master Builders therefor offers specific workshops and study sessions depending on whether you are applying for a Domestic or Commercial class of registration.
The process applicants will be required to go through is as follows:
Step 1 – Put your application together
How Master Builders can help:
Step 2 – Present application to the VBA
Step 3 – Initial Assessment (computer based examination and technical exercises)
A 70% pass mark is required in each of the computer test & technical exercises
You may be asked to bring a relevant reference, e.g. NCC and Australian Standards
Note: you must take your own printed & bound hard copy in, not on an IPad)
*Applicants who hold the prescribed qualification are usually not required to sit the initial assessment
Step 4 – Face to Face Assessment
Step 5 – Final Assessment (VBA assessor makes a recommendation)
Step 6 – VBA Panel approves/declines your application
