No, you do not need prior experience. The course is structured so that someone with no experience can participate and learn all the fundamentals of waterproofing, however it is also helpful to industry professionals who want to learn more about the Gripset system of products, update their current knowledge of the Australian standards, or participate to further their professional development and get recognition through CPD points. We have had participants who:

- Wanted to take on a personal project/improve their own house

- Enrol before they embark on a change of career

- Are already in the industry but new to Gripset products

- Use Gripset products currently but want to receive further training

- Want to upskill and become Gripset GAPP certified to promote their business on our website

This differs based on which state you are located in. A short summary is as follows:

- Qualification: Most states require or recommend a Certificate III in Construction Waterproofing or equivalent.

- License: Licensing is mandatory in NSW, QLD, SA, ACT, and for larger projects in TAS. In VIC, WA, and NT, it depends on the project scale or if waterproofing is part of a larger build.

As requirements can change, always check with the local regulatory body for the most up-to-date requirements in each state.

No you do not receive a government recognised waterproofing accreditation, you will receive a Gripset GAPP Accredited Applicator Card (useful for job sites and supplier discounts) and a certificate of completion. If you are after a waterproofing license, please refer to the links above for what you will need.

The deadline is two days before your practical date. If you choose to enroll after the theory training has been completed, but before the practical date, we will automatically send you a recording of the theory training, so you don’t have to wait until the next round of sessions to complete your training.
