Why choose us?
Our college has been approved by Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) to deliver this service to you.
TRA is an authority which assesses and recognises trade skills gained overseas or in Australia, for the purpose of migration.
Having your skills assessed not only means you can apply your skills and knowledge to Australian workplaces, but you’ll be more desirable for employers looking for skilled workers.
Skilled migrants are an important source of talent across a variety of industries in Australia.
Following Trades Recognition Australia’s (TRA) recent announcement, as of 1st October 2022, OSAP / TSS Skills Assessment applicants will need to personally attend their Technical Assessments (Technical Interviews) at an approved Australian Trade Training College venue.
Am I eligible?
A Skills Assessment determines if you have the skills and experience required to work in Australia at the trade level for your occupation. The requirement for a TRA Skills Assessment is determined by the applicant’s passport country, occupation and visa type.
Potential applicants should check with the Department of Home Affairs before submitting their application to ensure that a Skills Assessment is required for their visa application and that TRA is the correct assessing authority for their nominated occupation.
We’re approved by TRA to deliver Temporary Skills Shortage Program (TSS) and Offshore Skills Assessment Program (OSAP) programs.
