The trade professionals in the table below are treated as licensed because they’re competent in specific LBP licence classes.

They’re not on the LBP register, because they have their own registration schemes. So you need to look for them in their own registers.

Note:
Electrical workers are not LBPs. You can find them on their own website.

Skills maintenance :
What is skills maintenance?
** Every two years, all LBPs must complete a set of skills maintenance activities. This requirement is one of the responsibilities of being an LBP. Skills maintenance ensures that you as an LBP maintain current competence and knowledge in the building and construction industry.

** The Registrar of the LBP scheme has set the skills maintenance programme for LBPs in order to assess competency. Ensuring that you undertake skills maintenance gives the Registrar confidence that the cohort of LBPs have maintained the knowledge and skills against the minimum licensing standards.

What activities should I do for skills maintenance?
** We want to make it easy for you to find the technical and regulatory information you need to know, and to help you make the most of information that already exists as a result of your day-to-day practice and learning on the job.

** Under the skills maintenance programme there are three activities you must complete every two years. These activities include, elective activities relevant to your licence class, carrying out on the job learning and lastly, reading mandatory articles and completing a quiz that follows.

How do I record and submit my skills maintenance?
Recording skills maintenance :
** You’ll need to record your learning activities and submit them when they are due. Skills maintenance can be audited so it’s important to keep accurate records of your learning. It’s also a good idea to keep other evidence of the learning activities you’ve done as well.

Submitting skills maintenance record :
** Once you’ve completed all of your compulsory and elective activities, you need to submit your record of skills maintenance before you can be relicensed. There are three acknowledged methods or pathways to submit your skills maintenance.

** The fastest and easiest method to submit your recorded skills maintenance is using the online through the LBP portal. However if this isn’t your preference, we offer some alternatives. You can read more detail here.

** You can also submit skills maintenance online through the LBP portal if you complete a paper form, or if you record your skills maintenance through a third party app or website. You will just need to upload a copy of the skills maintenance diary document. Read about this process here.

** Lastly, you can submit your skills maintenance and relicensing on paper, however this can be time consuming. Read about this option here.
