- how the Self-Certification Register and Artisan work together
- your responsibilities for inspecting the work and capturing evidence
- what to do if the work changes during the job
- reviewing and finalising your inspection
- issuing a Certificate of Compliance
- the BCA’s ongoing role in the process.
You’ll also hear about the step-by-step navigation videos available on the Board’s website to help you use the Self-Certification Register and Artisan.
