## QBCC licence grades

The grade says what kind of licensee this is — a contractor who can contract directly with you, or a supervisor who works under someone else's licence. It is a different question from the class of work.

| Grade | Licences | Share |
|---|---|---|
| [Trade Contractor Licence](/grade/trade-contractor-licence.md) | 56,982 | 52.5% |
| [Builder Licence](/grade/builder-licence.md) | 16,102 | 14.8% |
| [Nominee Supervisor](/grade/nominee-supervisor.md) | 15,501 | 14.3% |
| [Site Supervisor](/grade/site-supervisor.md) | 12,700 | 11.7% |
| [Fire Occupational](/grade/fire-occupational.md) | 2,879 | 2.7% |
| [Mechanical Services Occupational](/grade/mechanical-services-occupational.md) | 2,797 | 2.6% |
| [Building Designer Licence](/grade/building-designer-licence.md) | 668 | 0.6% |
| [Building Designer Licence - EAT](/grade/building-designer-licence-eat.md) | 505 | 0.5% |
| [Builder Licence - EAT](/grade/builder-licence-eat.md) | 202 | 0.2% |
| Nominee Supervisor - Fire Certifier | 166 | 0.2% |
| Trade Contractor Licence - EAT | 22 | 0% |
| Trade Contractor Licence - Fire Certifier | 12 | 0% |

**Why it matters.** A nominee supervisor or site supervisor is licensed, but not licensed to contract with you directly for the work. Finding a name on the register is not the same as finding a contractor you can lawfully engage.
