102: Board to issue practising licence or decline application

You could also call this:

“Board checks if you can get a work permit for electrical jobs”

When you apply for a practising licence, the Board will review your application. If they think you meet the requirements in section 99, they will do three things. First, they will give you a practising licence for the type of work you’re registered to do. Second, they will send you proof that you have this licence. Third, they will tell the Registrar to add your licence details to the official record.

If the Board doesn’t think you qualify for a licence, they will let you know. They will tell you their decision and explain that you can appeal to the District Court if you disagree.

After the Board approves a licence, the Registrar will add the details to the official record as soon as they can.
