Applicants applying for or renewing a licence as a building certifier in Queensland must first obtain a Certificate of Accreditation from an approved Accreditation Standards Body before applying to QBCC for a licence.

The Certificate of Accreditation is confirmation that you have the competence, ethical standing and up-to-date knowledge needed to act as a building certifier.

The RICS Accreditation Standards Body for Queensland is a body approved by the Department of Housing and Public Works to assess the educational qualifications, experience, competence and continuing professional development of applicants wishing to gain or renew their Certificate of Accreditation in Queensland.
