Hi Zac, I don't actually run the course. I did my Queensland Owner Builder Course by correspondence through The Peach Institute. They offer some weekend courses, if you want to do it in class. Or you can do it in your own time by correspondence. They run the classroom Owner Builder courses in Townsville, Cairns, Maroochydore, Mackay and Rockhampton.

From my understanding you are allowed to do that, but you can only have one owner builder license every seven years, and it is only good for one house. So an owner builder license is not good if you want to be renovating multiple homes to turn them over for profit. You can read more at the BSA web-site. It says there that "This is detailed more fully in your permit, however, in some instances it can affect the sale of your property". So it would be worth contacting the BSA and looking into it more depending on your own circumstances.
