Why you should enrol?

Our CPC50220 Diploma of Building and Construction (Building) qualification has been designed and developed in consultation with industry leaders. You can be confident that what you are learning is both relevant and meets current industry needs.

As a peak industry body whose trainers are recognised experts in their field, our course has a reputation for delivering superior outcomes, often exceeding industry standards.

We focus on face-to-face/livestream training for our students because we recognise that time spent with our teachers is valuable. This allows learners to develop a greater in-depth knowledge firsthand by accessing industry experts. We further believe this will assist students to become better and more successful builders in the long run.

We offer information sessions (at no cost to the prospective learner), and prior to the commencement of all Diploma Building and Construction courses, to ensure students have a thorough and complete understanding of all course requirements; what to

expect from Master Builders Queensland and what we expect from you; and to assist with a seamless transition to study.

Our Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Assessment pathway means we may be able to assist you in gaining a formal, nationally recognised qualification more efficiently by assessing your existing skills and knowledge rather than through traditional training methods.

Master Builders Queensland offers more than just training to our students. It is an experience. Our courses are open to everyone. Master Builders Queensland Members enjoy the added benefit of accessing valuable, ongoing support when applying for licenses, or need assistance with career planning.
