What our students say

Lavish Constructions

Easy to deal with, like-minded teachers and course instructors. Master Builders’ Cert IV was way more involved than many of the other Cert IV courses now available.

Challis Builders Qld Pty Ltd

It covered all aspects thoroughly and the teachers were very helpful.

Scanline Fire Doors

The expert knowledge and way in which the facilitator presented the course.

Shed Boss

Master Builders’ Cert IV by RPL was easy and straightforward and the assessors were very helpful and easy to communicate with. There were no call centre queues and the people at Master Builders were very personable. It was well worth the effort.
