**Internationally issued trade certificates / Licences cannot be accepted regardless of country of issue / standards referenced etc. – Automatic recognition has been suspended for a number of years now. If the contractor has completed the trade course overseas, they will be required to either:

• Attend an Australian RTO who will competency map their certificate and align it to an Australian equivalent (Note: The RTO may deem as part of this process that there may be some additional training that is required).
• The applicant can apply to have their licence recognised and if approved by Fair Trading they will be issued an Australian Licence (though there is normally gap training as Australia has more or different requirements within the trade).
