Trade certifications, licences and registrations
What each certification actually means, how many tradespeople hold it in the public entries we track, and how to verify it before you hire. Every figure comes from named public sources. Nothing is self-declared to us.
Licences required by law
Counts reflect the public register entries and source listings we have collected and cross-referenced, from licences required by law to voluntary schemes. They are not official membership totals. Always verify a specific tradesperson on the official register before hiring.
