Licensing requirements are determined by the relevant state or territory authority and may include additional conditions such as an apprenticeship, supervised employment, trade recognition assessment, or other regulatory requirements. Students should check the latest requirements with the relevant licensing authority before relying on this course for licensing purposes.
