This Skill Set is designed for registered plumbers who want to expand their technical skills and knowledge, providing a pathway towards obtaining a plumbing licence. A licensed plumber requires a higher level of knowledge and experience than a registered plumber. To obtain a licence in any plumbing class, you must meet specific requirements, including completing the prescribed units for that licence. The units covered in this Skill Set are the common prerequisites for all plumbing licensing classes in Victoria and serve as the foundation for further specialisation in six other plumbing licensing skill sets. It's recommended to verify current licensing requirements with the Victorian Building Authority (VBA).
