Two informative meetings were held for new masons license applicants
October 16, 2024
Licensing of Contractors – Documentation Required
October 25, 2024
On Tuesday 22nd October, compulsory sessions started for all applicants who submitted all the necessary documentation so that they can sit for the Masons’ license examination.
This meeting is the first of four preparatory meetings which will end on Friday 25 October. Each session will last two hours, at which time the applicant will be given information about the skills and knowledge he/she will be required to demonstrate in the examination phase.
These four sessions will deliver information on steel and concrete construction, legislation related to the construction sector, geometry and building construction and health and safety on construction sites.
Although these four sessions will be in the Maltese language, the Committee on Masons Licensing also provided for the same number of sessions to be given in the English language.
Architect Godwin Agius, Chairperson of the Committee on the Licensing of Masons, said that this is the first time in the masons’ license process that the Building and Construction Authority is taking care to organise these training sessions and therefore it continues to support the reform which is being carried out in the mason’s license. He added that the Authority is seeing that learning becomes part of the renewal of licensing.
Meanwhile, this process will ultimately lead applicants to sit for a theoretical and practical examination so that they can finally obtain the license.
