In light of Covid19 outbreak VETASSESS has released the following information concerning trades occupations:

Technical interview assessments for trade occupations – now conducted online

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, VETASSESS are now conducting Technical Interview assessments online for all non-licensed trade occupations or Pathway 2 licensed occupations.

VETASSESS will continue to accept further applications for assessments relating to trades, however, delays may be experienced due to the constraints within the current environment.

Digital Issuing of the Qualifications:

Skills Recognition for Trade Occupations was pleased to make the transition to digitally issued qualifications on August 13, 2020.

The qualification documents (qualification certificate/statement of attainment and statement of results) are now available to download in pdf format from the online portal along with the skills assessment result letter. Traditional printed copies will also continue to be issued, once staff can safely return to the office.
