Do all tradesmen hold qualifications to undertake my job?
Certain businesses will have verified their qualifications & accreditation’s when they signup to our website, which will be displayed on their profile under the background checks tab, if no proof has been submitted then the background checkbox will be left unchecked, we understand however not all businesses require qualifications, when past job experience's are also credible.
