Following are some examples of how clients are supported with education:
Specifically
In respect to the state and local regulations which are relevant to the property and the proposed construction through the mandatory QBSA nationally accredited course.
Generally
Courseware and support packages provided the Owner Builder with the information, knowledge and tools to successfully manage and coordinate their construction project.
Most states and territories now require the Owner Builder to demonstrate an understanding and knowledge of Owner Builder obligations that relate to the exercising the privileges of a building permit. Example: For Queensland this is achieved through the satisfactory completion of the Course in Preparation for Owner Builder Permit 30945-QLD. This course is nationally accredited and can only be offered by Registered Training Organisations who must operate under the strict guidelines of the 12 Standards for RTO's as specified in the Australian Quality Training Framework.
Every course is developed and delivered as a nationally accredited unit of competency, and successful completion leads to the award of a Statement of Attainment issued under the Australian Quality Training Framework. This Statement of Attainment can be used as "evidence" in your portfolio and must be attached to your application for an Owner Builder Permit. Your own knowledge and skills will often determine how much additional support you will need, if any.
