Common Questions About
the TRA Process

TRA offers a number of different skills assessment programs based on your occupation, country of passport, where you studied and the type of visa you wish to apply for. Different skills assessment programs have different eligibility requirements in relation to the evidence needed to support your application.

For assistance finding an assessment type to best suit you, try the Skills Assessment tool.

We offer nationally recognised trade qualifications across Automotive, Engineering and Hospitality. This includes roles such as Motor Mechanic, Diesel Mechanic, Panel Beater, Vehicle Painter, Fitter, Metal Fabricator, Welder, Machinist, Chef and Cook, and more. All qualifications are delivered via Recognition of Prior Learning; meaning your existing skills and experience are assessed against Australian standards.

You can submit your evidence through our RPL Evidence Portal. Our team will guide you through the documentation and assessment stages.

The RPL process involves evaluating your existing skills and experience to grant you a nationally recognised qualification without the need for traditional classroom training.

The assessment timeframe can vary depending on the TRA program you apply through, the qualification being assessed, and how quickly you provide the required evidence. In most cases, the process takes several weeks once a complete application and all supporting documents have been submitted. Delays may occur if additional evidence or clarification is required during the assessment.

A seamless RPL experience

Mitchell Candy

Had the pleasure of working with Dave Taylor during my skills assessment process, and I can confidently say he went above and beyond. From the start, Dave was incredibly professional, organized, and on the ball with every detail. He communicated clearly, was easy to talk to, and made the whole process stress-free.

What stood out most was his approachable personality—he wasn’t just professional, he was genuinely engaging. We even had a great conversation about car racing, which added a personal touch that made the experience even more enjoyable.

Achieved my qualification with ease

The team at Trade Skills Australia were a pleasure to work with converting my New Zealand Trade into the equivalent Australian Trade. This has opened many more doors for me and my career here in Australia.

The RPL process was exceptionally thorough but with effective communications with the friendly staff with any questions I may had, the process was completed hassle free!

Thanks again Milli and Russell!
