Change the class on a tradesperson certificate

Introduction

A tradesperson certificate allows drainers, gasfitters, plumbers, roof plumbers and water plumbers to work with minimum supervision.

If you gain further qualifications that allow you to work in additional classes, you can add or change a class on your tradesperson certificate. You can do this at a Service NSW Centre.

Note: If the expiry date of your certificate is less than 6 weeks away you need to renew it before you can vary the classes.
