Upon registration, candidates are required to successfully complete a knowledge-based test, then allocated an e-portfolio of mandatory units to complete, along with a minimum of one specific bridge type from masonry, concrete and metallic.

Units can be completed as time allows, within a 12-month timeframe.

Upon completion, the portfolio will be reviewed by an assessor. Candidates who pass this assessment will then be invited to an interview to answer a series of questions to demonstrate the necessary competencies.
